In order to determine where you are going, you must have a clear understanding of where you have been.
Founded in 2002 by four intellectual property attorneys, from the national law firm of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, looking to create a new services model not being offered by today’s larger firms, The Eclipse Group has cultivated an environment in which we can achieve our clients’ goals effectively and efficiently by offering personalized services and creative solutions tailored to meet each client’s particular business needs.
In August of 2006, the firm merged with O’Connor Christensen & McLaughlin, a group of highly experienced intellectual property litigators with a nationwide reputation for exceptional trial and appellate representation, creating the breadth of knowledge, skill, and creativity we offer today.
As of present, the firm has grown to over twenty attorneys, the majority of whom have over ten years experience dating back to their previous law firms which include Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP, Bryan Cave LLP, Foley & Lardner LLP, Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP, Wildman Harrold Allen & Dixon LLP, Fish & Neave LLP, Fish & Richardson, P.C., Wallenstein & Wagner, Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP, Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, Poms Smith Lande & Rose, and Loeb, Kosacz & Sundberg LLP, Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, and Fleischman and Walsh, P.C.
Since its inception, we have worked to attract and retain additional high caliber, results-oriented attorneys and staff in order to ensure our ability to serve our clients professionally, responsively and effectively in a variety of professional and technical disciplines.
To better serve our growing client base, we have opened offices in several key industry and innovation hubs within the United States, including Chicago, IL, Research Triangle Park, NC, San Diego, Orange County Los Angeles and Westlake Village, CA. We also offer our clients additional access points to other centers of global innovation through our strategic alliances with leading law firms throughout the world.
The Eclipse Group has an innovative business model that will serve them well as economic forces change within bigger, more established law firms with substantially higher billing rates. The attorneys at the Eclipse Group work closely with their clients in trying to understand the challenges their clients face in order to offer up solutions that provide the best economic fit for the challenge at hand.
