Because our team is advancing companies in new markets worldwide, our Boston-based attorneys represent clients in their most important matters, including with respect to the development of their intellectual property portfolios, preferred stock financings, initial public offerings and mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures and strategic partnering agreements.
Our Boston summer program typically brings in five to 10 summer associates in our corporate, energy and climate solutions, patents and innovations, or technology transactions practices.
