BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - July 19, 2010) - Fish & Richardson announced today that seven attorneys have been named Boston's Best Lawyers in Intellectual Property (IP), more than any other firm. Boston's Best Lawyers 2010 Edition is a comprehensive guide to the city's top lawyers excerpted from the 2010 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, the preeminent referral guide to the legal profession in the United States.
The Fish IP attorneys listed as the best in Boston include: David L. Feigenbaum, Timothy A. French, Gilbert H. Hennessey, Charles Hieken, Robert E. Hillman, Frank P. Porcelli, and Frank E. Scherkenbach. Mr. Feigenbaum was also recognized as a Best Lawyer in Technology Law. In addition, Roger D. Feldman was named a Best Lawyer for both the Corporate and Mergers & Acquisitions specialties.
"As a leading global IP law firm, it is an honor to have more of Boston's best IP lawyers than any other firm," said Peter Devlin, President of Fish & Richardson. "It is especially gratifying to have some of our leading attorneys recognized by other top lawyers in the profession."
