Veteran lawyer Larry Sonsini is one of Silicon Valley's most influential figures. So when he assured Hewlett-Packard executives about the legality of their boardroom spying probe, the opinion must have carried considerable weight. But now he's scheduled to testify Thursday before a congressional panel investigating HP's pretexting scandal. Sonsini also served on the board of Pixar, which some analysts suspect may have mishandled its stock options before its sale to Walt Disney earlier this year.

Larry Sonsini isn’t a high-tech visionary, but the veteran lawyer is one of Silicon Valley’s most influential figures. So when he assured Hewlett-Packard executives about the legality of their boardroom spying probe, the opinion must have carried considerable weight.
Sonsini, 65, the common denominator in some of the region’s biggest success stories, served as HP’s outside counsel, a relationship that landed him in the middle of the scandal.
