Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP announced today that its San Diego office has moved to newly renovated and larger offices at 12790 El Camino Real. The move to Del Mar Heights allows the firm to better serve its clients in the region as well as accommodate the firm’s rapid growth.
“This move is part of the firm’s overall strategic plan to ensure we are in the best position possible to serve our clients,” said Ned Israelsen, managing partner of Knobbe Martens’ San Diego office. “We have taken advantage of the current business cycle to hire a number of excellent attorneys. This relocation provides much-needed room and puts us closer to many of our clients.”
Knobbe Martens’ new office is in close proximity to the firm’s growing client roster, which includes venture capital, biotech, medical device, health sciences, electronics, and semiconductor industries. The office occupies 65,000 square feet, with options to grow to 80,000 square feet in the future. The space also includes a 100-seat auditorium which will support select events for clients and the legal community.
The firm, headquartered in Orange County, California, opened its San Diego office in 1984 with two lawyers. The new office will house over 60 attorneys and six patent scientists, making it the largest intellectual property law practice in San Diego. Knobbe Martens is moving from the downtown area where it has had its office for the past 26 years. In addition to law degrees, all of the attorneys in the San Diego office have one or more technical degrees in science or engineering.
