Mountain View, CA (May 26, 2015)– Fenwick & West is pleased to announce that the firm has again received nationwide recognition from Chambers USA, a respected legal directory known for its primary research. The guide singles out 18 Fenwick attorneys and 11 of the firm's practice areas as among the best.
Here is some of what our clients and peers told Chambers about Fenwick this year:
- "They can analyze complex issues to a degree that most other firms are not able to and construct creative ways of looking at issues and arguments around them."
- "They are among the best in practicality and substantive expertise for technology companies."
- "We get clear answers … [t]hey provide business-minded advice."
- "In complicated litigation you want lawyers who will devote their time to understand the business issues behind legal issues. That is where they excel and take time to listen. It is the most important skill a lawyer can bring to the table."
- "[Fenwick is] an outstanding firm with tremendous range. They scale very, very well across deal sizes and types and are just as good on a middle-market deal as a large strategic one."
- “The [IP] team that I've been working with has both the technical expertise and the access to talent breadth, which is crucial as we expand our business in broader technical areas."
- "For international tax, they are a world-class leader."
