Many successful law firm partners with substantial client followings become disenchanted with their situation and decide to explore new opportunities.

To fully leverage abilities and further develop already successful practices, reasons for considering other opportunities may include the need or desire for any or several of the following:

• Better support in related practice areas
• Higher-quality associates
• Overseas offices in key locations
• A firm that can support larger, more complex matters
• Greater autonomy
• Opportunity for leadership
• Greater collegiality
• Better or more responsive firm management
• Appropriate credit for client origination
• Elimination of client conflicts that may significantly impede the growth of their practice
• Compensation structure that values more fairly their contributions to the firm.

We recognize that the effective recruitment of partners, and the merger or acquisition of whole practice groups -- or even of partnerships -- requires special expertise. Whether your objective is to expand an existing office, balance the revenues of your current practice or enter a new market at home or abroad, we can help.

In addition to our work with attorneys and administrators, we have several clients who employ Technical Advisers and Patent Agents.

Technical Advisers assist attorneys in all aspects of a firm's patent practice, including patent prosecution, litigation, transactions, and other areas. The law firm provides training for its technical advisers. Technical advisers have at least a four-year degree in a science, including (but not limited to), electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, biotechnology, chemistry and physics. Technical advisers often have an advanced degree, but it is not a requirement. Often, technical advisers plan to go to law school or are about to start law school.

Patent Agents have the same educational background as technical advisers, but have taken and passed the Patent Bar, and are already admitted to the Patent Bar.
