Successful Philadelphia IP Firm Is Too Big to Be Small But Doesn't Want to Be Big
Mention the name Woodcock Washburn in Philadelphia legal circles, and the talk will be about one of the most respected IP firms in town. With a client list that includes Johnson & Johnson and Microsoft, Fortune 250 clients have been a firm staple since patent attorney Virgil Woodcock left General Electric in 1938 and founded the solo practice that grew into 90-lawyer Woodcock Washburn. The firm was third on IP Law & Business' annual list of top IP firms, and it shows no sign of slowing down.
A Lesson in Law Firm Darwinism: Adapt or Die
Intellectual property law firms have been living inside a paradox for the past decade: While the IP practice booms, IP boutiques face a constant threat of extinction. But the most remarkable fact is that a group of IP specialty firms have survived, and even thrived. In evolutionary terms, they were either born with traits that have allowed them to prosper in a hostile environment -- strong management, loyal clients, merit pay -- or they have adapted, rapidly.

Top Firms Find N.Y. Is Still the Apple of Their Eyes
It is certainly no surprise that many of the biggest winners in The American Lawyer magazine's Am Law 100 chart for 1999 -- Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; Davis Polk & Wardwell and Weil, Gotshal & Manges -- are Manhattan-based financial practices. California firms who have done well have profitable branches in New York. Despite the rise of high tech industries in Austin and Seattle, New York still seems to reign supreme as the city of big revenues.

Odds Are Not Good for a Malvo Insanity Plea
The insanity defense worked for would-be presidential assassin John Hinckley Jr. It worked for Lorena Bobbitt, who cut off her husband's penis. It even worked for Dan White, whose lawyers invoked the infamous "Twinkie defense" at his trial for killing San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and city supervisor Harvey Milk. And now defense attorneys for teen sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo are hoping the insanity defense will work for their client, too. The chances of success, though, are slim.From Akin Gump to Kramer Levin
