In its article naming Silicon Valley Corporate partner Jorge del Calvo as a “Trusted Advisor,” The Recorder notes that in the span of a year, del Calvo “had more deals hit nine figures or better than most dealmakers can count in a lifetime.”
The article cites del Calvo’s work representing InvenSense Inc. in its $1.3 billion sale to TDK Corp., Applied Micro Circuits Corp. in its $770 million sale to MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc., and Chinese investment fund Beijing Shanhai Capital Management Co. in its acquisition of California-based semiconductor company Analogix for approximately $500 million.
Del Calvo notes that just as a wave of a consolidation swept Silicon Valley last year, the quality and quantity of Pillsbury’s start-up practice increased dramatically.
“This year has been the most disruptive, in a positive way, in my practice since the first Internet boom of the late 1990s,” he said.
Del Calvo added that clients come back to the firm because “We try to differentiate based on understanding of our clients’ businesses, teamwork, quality of service, timeliness and efficiency… I think it helps that I, and the team of Pillsbury lawyers I collaborate with, care about our clients as people, establish personal relationships with them and care deeply about the outcomes of the work we do in the same way they do.”
