In a move of shameless self-promotion, we simply must announce that the Patent Baristas were ranked in the 2005 Edition of Chambers USA, a publication that ranks attorneys and their practices based upon peer and client review.
Chambers USA touts the ranked Intellectual Property Department as known for their “exceptional” attention to detail and impeccable biomedical knowledge. Frost Brown Todd LLC is said to boast one of the top Intellectual Property practices in the region. Clients use adjectives such as “impeccable”, “genius”, “simply superb”, and “quite excellent” in describing Stephen Albainy-Jenei, Karlyn Schnapp, Steven Goldstein, and David Schmit.
From Chambers:
This firm is said to boast one of the top IP practices in the region; in the biopharm arena there are no other major players with such a large market share, and in terms of dedicated specialists the firm has about 32 practitioners in Ohio alone. Known for their “exceptional” attention to detail and impeccable biomedical knowledge, attorneys have made a name for their diligence and efficiency. Said one client: “They can handle our discoveries and turn them into something really profitable.” Successfully maintaining a balance between quality and value, the top trial lawyers are supported by an “exceptional” team that is “very helpful and business-oriented.” Market commentators also enthuse about the “extremely good working environment,” which facilitates the fostering of close client relationships. The firm is presently injecting further resources into another related growth area – advertising law. In this regard, a team of attorneys has been established to look after a growing number of consumer product clients.
The qualities on which rankings are assessed include technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by the client. The rankings and editorial comment about attorneys are independent and objective. Inclusion in this section of the guide is based solely on the research team’s findings. No-one can ‘buy their way in’.
For the current US directory, over 10,000 interviews were conducted covering the USA. The interviews were carried out by a team of 40 full-time researchers over a period of 8 months.
