With a high-profile client base, a worldwide reputation for excellence, and practice areas encompassing every aspect of intellectual property law, Finnegan Henderson offers a unique opportunity to propel your career to the next level.  Teamwork prevails in our collegial work environment where solving client challenges is the driving concern.  Every client is a client of the firm not of an individual lawyer.  Partners are encouraged to share the work, and compensation formulas reflect this philosophy.  Although each client has a primary contact lawyer, we are not territorial.  We seek to assign work to those with the appropriate level of skills and experience.  To further ensure a quality work product, Finnegan Henderson subjects all legal work to the highest possible standards through a unique process known as Second Attorney Review.  Such thorough scrutiny benefits our clients and encourages relentless attention to detail.

Our reputation for setting the highest standards in IP law attracts lawyers from corporations, the government, and other law firms to Finnegan Henderson.  Once on board, they frequently comment that this is the way IP law ought be practiced.

Our lawyers come from more than 40 law schools around the country.  They have the opportunity to work in a diverse range of practice groups.  These groups provide a home base for each lawyer.  Partner advisors in each practice group provide formal feedback on a regular basis.  Lawyers also can choose to participate in one or more practice "sections," which encompass every aspect of IP law, including trial litigation, appellate work, ITC litigation, prosecution, interferences, and IP portfolio management.  These sections provide the structure for training, improving processes, and conducting strategic planning and marketing.
