IP law firms in DC

[CWG]

Hello,

Can anyone give some suggestions for these firms? I got 3 offers for summer 09 so far. I know I want to practice patent law, but not sure about prosecution or litigation yet, but I do want to keep my options open. My background -- biotech, life science, and computer science.

Ropes & Gray -- DC office
Fish & Richardson --- DC office
Morrison Foerster -- DC office

Thank you very much.

Fish is the best IP firm in the country, however, they are also known as a sweat shop.  I've heard good things about MOFO in general, but don't know much about their IP practice.  I would take MOFO.

Some say Fish is the best IP firm, and some say Finnegan is.  I would take Fish.  For IP, Ropes & Gray is a step below the other two firms, but still very good.

I'd go with M&F for all the wrong reasons.  Yeah, I want that @MoFo.com email address.
