Haynes Boone’s San Diego office, opened in 2026 as the firm’s fourth California location, strengthens the firm’s presence in one of the world’s leading research and innovation hubs and enhances its ability to serve life sciences, healthcare and technology-driven clients.
Led by Partner Jeffrey Morton, Ph.D., co-chair of Haynes Boone's Biotechnology Practice Group, the San Diego office builds on Haynes Boone’s longstanding work for life sciences clients. The firm advises companies throughout the sector on intellectual property, corporate transactions, venture capital, capital markets, labor and employment, litigation, regulatory matters and other business-critical legal needs, helping clients navigate challenges and opportunities at every stage of growth.
Drawing on Haynes Boone’s national and international platform, the San Diego office connects clients with sophisticated capabilities across practices and markets. The office also provides a hub near key courts for the firm’s Southern California litigators, whose work includes trade secret litigation, M&A-related litigation, securities actions and other complex business disputes.
“Many life sciences companies need a team that can help them navigate every stage of growth. Haynes Boone’s platform allows our attorneys to support clients from early innovation and intellectual property strategy through financing, transactions, commercialization and dispute resolution.”
