Downtown San Jose

Boasting more than 10 acres of urban park area and a range of cultural attractions, Downtown San Jose is more than a place to unwind or experience something new. It is also the home of businesses like Zoom, Oracle, and Adobe, as well as other non-tech businesses such as Heritage Bank and Ernst & Young.

San Jose BioCenter

San Jose’s BioCenter is a wet laboratory facility supporting various life science-oriented businesses and nanotechnology companies. Businesses like BioMarker Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Chronix Biomedical, Inc., and OmegaGenesis are just some of the many companies that call the BioCenter and its facilities home.

San Jose Technology Corridor

The Technology Corridor follows State Route 87 from where it intersects with State Route 85 in the south to Highway 101 in the north. Numerous businesses and other hubs of activity are accessible from the Technology Corridor, not only within the city, but in nearby Santa Clara and other communities as well.

Legal Needs of Businesses in San Jose

While the types of businesses in San Jose may be diverse, their needs are similar. Your San Jose company will need to comply with federal and state regulations, along with local ordinances. Violations of these rules can result in significant financial penalties and the potential for civil and criminal consequences.

As a Silicon Valley business owner, your intellectual property and innovations are likely more valuable than any other asset you own. These assets deserve competent and aggressive protection from your San Jose employer law firm against illegal infringement and other actions that can devalue your intellectual property.

Beyond this, any business that employs others can expect employee disputes and contractual issues to surface from time to time. These matters can distract and derail your business from performing at its peak.
