IP lit in NYC: Fish, Kirkland, Ropes, Weil, Kenyon, King & Spalding

[Patently No]

Thoughts? I wouldn't mind doing some prosecution, but I'm mainly looking lit. Good EE work would be nice.

We have similar lists. Honestly, as far as reputation and things on paper, any of those would be a good option. K&S while not a big player has a very solid group (they are mentioned by other firms in the good IP lit firms in the town discussion).

Ropes, Kenyon and maybe Fish and maybe K&S have better "quality of life" reps than Kirkland and Weil. Kirland and Weil have a higher rankings on Vault (if that matters to you), and maybe better bonuses but who knows.

However, I think I would base your decision more on where you "felt" better and where you liked the people the best. All of those firms are great places to be so I think you are almost in a "can't make a wrong choice" position if you liked them all the best.

Thanks. I agree about K&S. They have a large electrical practice from Kenyon and Bob Perry is a good guy. Vault ranking doesn't matter, but lateral options do, and I think that plays into that somewhat. Plus, Kirkland sent me really good brownies.
