Work & experience
Provided by Friedland Cianfrani LLP
The firm focuses on all facets of U.S. IP litigation, and its lawyers have represented clients in more than 400 IP cases since 2000. We differ from most boutiques in that our lawyers have elite credentials (three graduated from Harvard Law School and three have federal clerkships), and all have big firm experience. We differ from big firms because all of our lawyers are highly experienced; our most junior lawyers have practiced for five years, and our attorney average experience is 17 years.
