      This position may be based either in our Tri-Valley (Pleasanton) or Silicon Valley (downtown San Jose) office.  Weekly travel to the other office may be necessary, as this position supports attorneys in both offices.

      Our environment is collegial, collaborative, and supportive.  We provide both formal and informal training opportunities and encourage professional growth, both as a lawyer and a businessperson.  Our associate hours commitment is 1,700 annually (billable), plus professional development and business development hours.
