Troy Zander, a venture debt finance partner at DLA Piper in Silicon Valley and San Diego, is headed to Cooley. The move comes three months after Zander was named managing partner of DLA Piper's offices in San Diego.
DLA Piper has strong roots in the region stemming from San Diego-based predecessor firm Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich, which merged in 2005 with Baltimore-based Piper Rudnick and the U.K.'s DLA to form its current iteration. Zander joined DLA Piper that same year from Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, a firm he headed to a year earlier from what was then still Gray Cary.
At DLA Piper, Zander specialized in representing lenders on middle-market financing transactions for life sciences and technology companies, while also serving as a pro bono coordinator at the firm, where he was a member of the global legal giant's U.S. pro bono committee. (Zander also served as chairman of the board for Feeding America San Diego, a nonprofit group that helps San Diegans in need.)
