Which for IP lit?

Those aren't really IP lit shops.

How has Grizz not showed up yet?

I think W&C is not a firm you turn down for IP at a non-IP boutique. I think even if I wanted IP I'd take W&C because I've heard excellent things, not only about the firm but the culture, but to each his own I suppose.



also, egregious vault trolling

For IP Lit, its Quinn > W&C >>> Cov.... for overall lit, its W&C >>>>>>>> others.

Quinn's IP Lit is actually really strong.

Yeah I don't know what Renzo is talking about.

No love 4 Covington?

Covington DC has a strong IP lit practice - both life sciences (particularly pharma) and software/electronics. They've been expanding this practice over the past few years.

On a side note - I think the value of TLS is dropping rapidly and polls like this are less than helpful because I've seen fewer and fewer 3Ls or grads posting.

Quinn in New York is strong for IP? Not so much.

what is quinn NY known for?

Why does W&C beat Covington? I'm a little confused.

General commercial and financial lit. They are one of the few firms that both has financial litigation ability and a willingness to oppose the banks, since they don't depend on them for corporate work. They also have a bunch of insurance firms as clients.

They actually have a pretty strong team out in NY. Yeah, they're Band 4 on Chambers, but their general litigation is Band 3 for NYC and you suck their dick pretty nicely above.

This is an exaggeration on two fronts. First, I didn't actually say they are good at anything (and I'm not now saying they suck). I only said that the work they do is mostly general commercial, insurance/reinsurance, and a little securities lit. And saying they are "strong" in IP in New York is misleading. They might in fact have a few notable IP people in NY, but so do Cadwalader and dla piper, and I wouldn't call either of those places IP lit firms.

Is this a joke? Look up their website. They have 20+ IP lit partners based in NY and apparently many more associates.

Thanks for the awesome feedback. I am, though, still perplexed why W&C beats Covington. Can anyone explain?

Quinn IP Lit isn't looking good. They just got their butt kicked in the Apple/HTC litigation by Apple/Kirkland.

Slightly off-topic, but are major lit shops really discredited/wrecked so easily? One major loss? I really can't imagine such a thing.

Such a ridiculous idea to say a firm's IP litigation isn't looking good because they lost a case, even a big one.

Since you're anonymous making such a comment, why not extrapolate on why you believe this to be the case. Explain away the logic that seems to invalidate your post.

No, they're not. Wasn't it Quinn/Alston & Bird v. Kirkland/WilmerHale? Thats a battle of IP lit giants - losing a case like that /= doom.

They represented an A-list IP client in the fiercest IP market possible and they got their shit kicked in.

It's not the fact that they lost but how badly they lost; just look it up, they did not fair well at all and it should have been a closer case than it was.

It was Quinn/Keker vs. Kirkland.

And no, Quinn's IP department is hardly in shambles from the loss.

Ah I'm getting mixed up with the other big Apple case between Alston and WH.
