Over the past five decades, leading businesses in nearly all industries, high net worth individuals, and institutions, in Northern California and beyond, have sought our assistance with complex transactions, must-win litigation, and trusted counseling on significant personal issues.  

Our business clients rely on us for corporate, financial and real estate transactions and litigation, IP litigation and protection, and employment counseling, litigation and class action defense. For our individual clients, we handle everything from sophisticated legacy planning to personal employment issues to complex trust and other litigation. We have a deep bench of well-respected trial attorneys who collectively have tried hundreds of cases in local, state and federal courts.

Since its founding, Hopkins & Carley has established deep and strong roots in Silicon Valley, and the firm is proud to work with the third and fourth generations of some of our original clients.  We have been honored to grow alongside a number of companies that have evolved from small bricks and mortar enterprises to multi-national businesses.  The firm understands the industries in which our clients operate, and recognize that legal and business issues often are inextricably intertwined.

We believe our longevity and growth is a result of exceptional attentive service, an understanding of each client's needs, and our direct and rapid response to their questions and concerns – delivered with respect, integrity and civility. Our clients tell us that we deliver sophisticated, practical legal counsel at a fair price.
