What Matters to Our Clients

Client Base

We measure our value on a simple metric: our clients stay with us for many years. Often remaining with us after being acquired, they like the fact that we have a remarkable degree of stability among our people. Our clients can rely on the consistency of a solid team to keep pace with their growth.

Working with world leaders in industry and academia, we also represent start-ups and non-profits in the biotech and life sciences space. Our experienced understanding of the issues at stake means that we bring realistic solutions to the table.

Team Approach

Efficient and cost-effective client service is a core firm value. In our Biotechnology Group, that value means working with our Chemical & Materials Technologies Group and our Pharmaceutical Group when their specialized expertise will benefit a client’s project. Our teams routinely include support from our paralegal group and our International Filing Department to contain costs and deliver value.

Technical Depth and Breadth

When it comes to advanced scientific degrees, we field the largest biotechnology group in New England. Aggressively recruiting people who are closest to advancing technology, we quickly grasp the nuances of complex biotechnology matters.

Our clients appreciate the easy way we communicate with their inventors and scientists on the fine distinctions of a particular innovation, and with their business executives on issues that impact the future commercial value of their technology.

The services we provide include: IP strategic planning; patent and trademark acquisition and enforcement; studies on patentability, infringement, and validity; IP audits and due diligence; licensing and technology transfer; interferences; and competitor analysis.
