K&E Tech & IP Transactions

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Dec 09, 2021 10:10 pm

Anyone have insight or direct experience into Kirkland's IP / tech trans practice? How amenable is the practice for training someone to go in-house as corporate or product counsel?

kicking this off bc i don't have direct experience but have secondhand insights and the best way to get advice on the internet IME is to post something and wait for others to correct you:

K&E IP Trans is an M&A support group and all else equal would think Cooley, WSGR, Fenwick, Latham, etc. corp and TTG associates are better in-house commercial counsel hires. product counsel i'd want a privacy/regulatory lawyer.

Not sure why Latham is grouped in here since it's also mostly M&A, but I'd generally agree with the rest. Looks like M&A support touches on various aspects but maybe not in the level of depth in-house legal departments are looking for (unless you can prove otherwise).
