Latham & Watkins is a full service international firm with 11 domestic offices and more than 150 US-based lawyers handling a range of IP litigation and transactional services. Along with a historically strong technology transactions group, the firm is increasingly making waves in the realm of high-stakes patent litigation. "I think they are building a nice group there," says one peer. "I think they are really trying to grow what they're doing." Another peer, referring to patent litigation, echoes this sentiment, saying: "We are seeing Latham more and more." The firm's visibility and depth in life sciences-oriented work has grown markedly under global co-chair Maximilian Grant. "They have such a strong name," says one competitor, referring to the firm as a whole. "To see them growing within both IP and life sciences isn't much of a surprise." Partner Richard Bress has served as lead counsel in a number of Supreme Court arguments, including one closely-watched case on behalf of Monsanto in Monsanto v Geertson Seed Farm. "Richard is so good with his words and his arguments in the courtroom," says a peer. "It is no wonder he keeps getting chosen to represent clients in these cases."
