Sam Wu

I have been practicing business, corporate and securities law for over 7 years — specializing in representing startups, emerging growth companies, venture capital firms and angel investors in the technology sector. I represent companies throughout all stages of development including corporation formation, venture capital financings and merger and acquisitions. I represented companies such Polycom, Autodesk, TopTier Software, Virage, Autoweb, Informatica, PeoplePC and Atmel Corporation. I also represented investment banks (such as Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs), entrepreneurs, technology and emerging growth startups, venture capital firms and angel investors. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), I started my law practice in Palo Alto in the corporate and securities department at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. It was a great time of learning and developing the fundamental skills I needed to succeed as a corporate and securities attorney. I sincerely appreciated my time there learning from some great attorneys. The years at Wilson Sonsini were pretty eventful with the long hours and late nights while getting married and having two daughters. I have since moved down to Orange County to be closer to family and started Technology Capital Law Group in Newport Beach, California in 2006. Last year, my third (and last!) daughter joined our family.
