Perkins Coie. Well known clients include msft/uber. Bitcoin/cryptocurrency practice is well regarded. I think being close to a lot of tech clients helps. We get some flack for shunning slack/teams/gchat4business/stride/chime or wtf amazon uses/workplace by fb/etc and relying on “antiquated” email. We definitely prefer to work more in thoughtfully composed emails compared to a fluid team chat. It’s also easier to organize and manage. However, I’ve been pleased with my colleagues ability to ask relatively smart questions about ML. For example, people are pretty good at responding to ML hand wavey bullshit with specific questions about training data, labeling, features, model architecture, etc. IMO, we have some younger, eg 40-50, people in leadership positions in my practice group.

"Our clients depend on our ability to receive their messages reliably and respond efficiently. We can't settle for less than decentralized, asynchronous communications over standardized open protocols." Just be advised that if the prospect's head actually explodes, you may face capacity challenges to your engagement letter when you bill.

  That’s a good way to phrase the advantages of email

One of the most impressive tech lawyers I’ve met is a corporate Perkins guy, so I can believe it. I actually used to work in their Palo Alto office — back when it belonged to MWE in 2007-2009. The new lobby that Perkins built is much nicer!
