Perkins Coie has picked up a veteran Silicon Valley corporate lawyer as a partner for its technology and venture capital transactions team in Palo Alto, California.

Adrian Rich, who spent nearly the past eight years as a partner at Dorsey & Whitney in Silicon Valley, joined Perkins Coie’s emerging companies and venture capital practice on July 11. Rich, who spent nearly a decade at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati before decamping to Dorsey & Whitney in 2011, was not immediately available to discuss his latest move, which was brokered by Solana Beach, California-based legal recruiting firm Watanabe Nason & Schwartz.
