Richard Blake is a partner at Wilson Sonsini and the leader of the firm’s public companies practice. He is one of the lead authors of the 2025 Silicon Valley 150 Corporate Governance Report, an annual study tracking governance trends among leading technology and life sciences companies. We discuss the key findings from the 2025 report, including notable shifts in DEI disclosure, evolving approaches to ESG, and how companies are responding to an increasingly complex state and federal regulatory landscape.
