One of the nation's top patent litigators was leaving one of the most prominent IP boutiques to join a global mega-firm, while predicting that bigger general-practice firms were the future of IP practice. Now, as Marshall confronts Weil Gotshal's mandatory retirement age for partners, he's heading back to his boutique roots, as senior counsel at Boston-based Fish & Richardson.

When Jonathan A. Marshall left Pennie & Edmonds for Weil, Gotshal & Manges in February 2002, the news rocked the intellectual property bar. One of the nation’s top patent litigators was leaving one of the oldest and most prominent IP boutiques to join a global mega-firm.
It seemed a harbinger of things to come, and Marshall himself declared at the time that the future of IP practice lay with the bigger — usually richer — general-practice firms and not with the boutiques.
