Citing persistent client conflicts and poor work flow with the U.S. side of the firm, Howrey’s Europe IP head and at least 11 other partners are departing to set up a new IP firm. Fourteen associates are also expected to leave. Howrey confirmed the departures Friday afternoon, adding only that the split is amicable and that a statement from the firm was forthcoming.
