Finnegan Henderson is committed to providing the highest quality of IP legal service in the world.  This philosophy has guided us since we first opened our doors in 1965.  Our commitment to being the best has contributed to our ability to attract the highest caliber recruits and clients.  We are proud to count among our ranks more than 30 former Federal Circuit Court clerks; 40 plus Ph.D.'s; nearly 50 former Patent Examiners; and 250 members of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Bar.  Many of our lawyers previously served in positions at universities or research laboratories.  Others have worked in the general counsel's or IP counsel's office of major corporations.  And more than a dozen earned their litigation stripes at the U.S. Attorney's Office or U.S. Department of Justice.  We are also proud that many of our lawyers chose to begin their professional careers here at the firm by joining us immediately after graduating from law school or attending law school while working at the firm as a student associate.

We practice every aspect of intellectual property law.  From the firm's five domestic and three international offices, our 300+ lawyers provide IP representation in litigation, licensing, counseling, and procurement of rights through patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets.  Our pursuit of innovative IP solutions puts us at the forefront of some of the most exciting cases and legal developments affecting business and industry.

Our clients are industry leaders whose products and services range from camcorders and computers to cosmetics, automobiles, and Internet search engines.  The diversity and complexity of our clients' businesses is reflected in the range of challenging work we can offer to lawyers at all levels of their careers.

As a member of the Finnegan Henderson team, you'll work side-by-side with colleagues ranked at the top of their profession.  We foster a strong collegial atmosphere where teams collaborate to solve clients' problems.  We are committed to ongoing professional development through formal training and mentoring programs.  We also believe in the importance of family life and believe that hard work and fun can successfully coexist in a law firm setting.
