Los Angeles, CA
California is an exciting place to practice competition law. The heart of the country’s high-tech (Silicon Valley), entertainment (Hollywood), wine (Napa/Sonoma), and agriculture (Central Valley) industries are located here. California is the country’s gateway to Asia and the Pacific Rim, has the country’s largest seaport complex (Long Beach/Los Angeles), and would be considered among the top ten largest economies in the world if California were counted as a country. California may be known as the state that pioneered freeways, but it’s the digital highway and the cross-roads of intellectual property and antitrust law that put California on the legal map today.
