Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The Paul Weiss team in the patent space has consistently been a bet-the-company, no-stone-unturned practice that consistently delivers stellar results. They do a very good job of not siloing parts of the trial team so that most members of the team are knowledgeable about all aspects of the case, which tends to lead to efficiencies across the matter and best allows for maintaining positions across the case that are not contradictory..’
‘Top team of former AUSAs and one former US Attorney. ’
