Over the past two years, Spencer Fane LLP has been diligently working towards establishing an upper echelon intellectual property group. The law firm’s strategy, as described by the group’s co-leader, involves gathering a “band of misfits” from distinguished legal entities such as Fish & Richardson PC and McKool Smith.
Creating a diverse and robust collective of seasoned professionals from different backgrounds intends to differentiate Spencer Fane’s team from its competitors. This unique approach aims to ensure that the firm brings on board highly skilled, unique, and effective attorneys who can navigate the complex world of intellectual property law.
The endeavor by Spencer Fane underscores the larger trend in the legal world as law firms look to diversify and bolster their teams by bringing in top-notch legal talent from various quarters. In this context, pulling together a ‘band of misfits’ provides an interesting approach in a highly competitive market where every firm seeks to have a distinguished and diversified team to meet diverse client needs.
