Practice Areas & Industries: Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto

Practice/Industry Group Overview

Fitzpatrick has been representing clients in the e-Commerce and New Media fields since before those terms existed, and our practice in this area continues to grow, quite literally, on a daily basis. Whether it's procuring patent protection on a new Internet business model, handling a domain name dispute, counseling a client on trademark and copyright issues surrounding its Web site content or conducting a due diligence investigation of the intellectual property assets of a technology company about to be brought public, our firm provides top quality legal services while offering the speed and lawyer accessibility that the new economy demands. We pride ourselves in our Internet savvy - all of our lawyers who practice in this area keep abreast of the latest legal and technical developments, most hold bachelors or advanced degrees in disciplines such as computer science or electrical engineering, and many have worked in relevant commercial sectors before embarking on their legal careers.

Our client base ranges from early stage dot-coms to established Fortune 500 companies, and includes everything in between. We know that clients on different points of this spectrum often have different needs for their Intellectual Property lawyers, and we are equally adept in fulfilling them all. We are also equally skilled at representing both Internet backbone and content providers, and are retained routinely by both. Examples of those who have entrusted us with their matters include Canon, Conde Nast, Garmin, Instinet, New York Clearing House, and Prudential, as well as many on a long list of start-ups that we are hopeful will be among tomorrow's giants.
