Orrick Named Among GCs' Favorite IP Litigation Firms in BTI Power Rankings

October.18.2018

Orrick was named an IP litigation powerhouse in BTI’s Litigation Outlook 2019 report. The rankings are based on more than 350 interviews with corporate counsel and other legal decision makers.

In an article published in Law360 to announce the rankings, Jared Bobrow, co-chair of our IP Business Unit along with Sten Jensen, identified the depth and range of our practice and our global platform as differentiators.

“The firm has extensive experience in all areas of IP: patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, which is somewhat unusual for a full-service firm and sets Orrick apart when clients have matters that cut across various areas. The firm is able to use its reach in both geography and expertise to aid clients,” Jared noted, adding that the firm’s “strong culture of collaboration and integration allows us to work on complex cases really well."
