DLA Piper Joins the Short List of AmLaw 200 Firms with Blogs
Ron Friedmann, of Prism Legal Consulting has created a list of "firm-branded blogs" -- he does not count AmLaw 200 attorneys that blog without displaying their firm affiliation -- in which he identifies nine AmLaw 200 firms that have a collective 30 blogs. LexBlog's Kevin O'Keefe adds four more to Friedmann's list to reach 13 AmLaw 200 firms with 34 blogs:
- Cathy Kirkman of Wilson Sonsini (a LexBlog site).
- McGuire Woods employment law blog.
- Akin Gump's SCOTUS blog.
- Lindquist & Vennum's branded Corporate Securities Regulation blog (a LexBlog site).
Kevin's post also alludes to another blog from one of the AmLaw 50 that LexBlog will be going live with this week. And as you can see from the addition of the DLA Piper logo to the Blog, this is it.
Many friends and colleagues already know that I left my in-house position with Delphi's Technology Licensing & Litigation group in November and reentered private practice as Special Counsel to DLA Piper. It has taken a little bit of time to get everything ready to go, but DLA has embraced the Blog and is very excited about being affiliated with it. The Blog remains mine and that you will continue to get the same quality content. The only differences are that I am back in Chicago and that I am now actively litigating IP matters in the Northern District of Illinois again. It is great to be back in town and, as always, I welcome your comments. And now that I am no longer inhouse, in addition to my thoughts (which remain solely mine and not necessarily those of DLA Piper or any of our clients) I can offer you my litigation services should you ever need them.
