Fish & Richardson’s Washington, D.C., office is home to some of the most powerful and sought-after intellectual property trial and appellate lawyers in the world, including our leading International Trade Commission practice. Our D.C. team includes 38 powerhouse trial lawyers who represent some of the biggest technology leaders around the globe. Our attorneys are in court nearly every day, and nearly every D.C. litigation principal has first-chaired cases. We are particularly adept at handling complex, concurrent, multi-venue cases, and often oppose multiple law firms in a single case because few, if any, firms have the resources and experience of Fish to handle this type of work alone. Our prosecution practice covers a wide range of disciplines, including electrical and mechanical technologies, software, Internet, nanotechnology, and medical devices. Our regulatory group primarily practices before the Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission, Food and Drug Administration, and various federal agencies involved in export license control, while also handling advertising and promotional law matters. Many of our D.C. attorneys hail from premier law schools and have served as District Court and Federal Circuit clerks. The D.C. office benefits from the resources of Fish’s national presence while maintaining the collegiality of a close-knit office.
