Why Lawyers Refer Clients to Us

Hi, I'm Rich Beem. I'm a patent attorney in Chicago and I would like to talk with you about why lawyers come to us. We get many lawyers as clients and, more particularly, as referrers of clients. For example, corporate counsel – in large companies and small – come to us because of our patent expertise. Some of our clients are patent attorneys – very sophisticated – within corporations that handle large patent portfolios, and they want someone to write up the patent applications because they don't have time to do it themselves. They want someone who will stay with the prosecution of the patent application, they want someone who will litigate the patent case, who will defend their company in Court, or who will stop infringers who are infringing on their company's patents. Many of the lawyers who come to us are in law firms. They are commercial litigators, they are business lawyers, they are intellectual property lawyers, trademark lawyers, patent lawyers. They might be in other cities from around the United States, or from other parts of the world. Particularly, when they have a patent matter in Chicago, they like to come to us because we are a small, specialized patent firm. Patents are what we do. You represent – if you're a lawyer – you represent your clients in your particular geographical area or in your area of expertise. And when you need a patent lawyer who is going to handle and assist you and work with you as co-counsel – you might be lead counsel in the case even here in Chicago – but you need someone who's local here, across the street from the Chicago Federal Courthouse, who has patent expertise, a member of the trial bar. Call us. We're at 312-201-0011. Thank you.
