The firm's published practice coverage also includes technology and outsourcing, employee benefits and executive compensation, energy and natural resources, and white collar investigations. Construction and real estate add work involving physical assets and development, while general commercial litigation addresses disputes arising from business activity.
For students, Kilpatrick offers several different routes into a practice connected to innovation and commerce. Intellectual property can mean securing or enforcing rights, but it can also involve licensing, transactions, and the allocation of technology risk. The firm's broader business and disputes capabilities provide additional context for how those rights affect a client's operations and long-term plans.
