Boutique firm much admired for its artful representation of generic pharmaceutical manufacturers in complex ANDA litigation. The firm’s other areas of strength include freedom-to-operate searches and licensing and collaboration agreements. Its bench strength sees it offer wider expertise beyond its traditional generics client base, bolstering its handling of brand mandates.
Chambers USA added:
Rakoczy Molino Mazzochi Siwik LLP has a highly regarded Chicago-based life sciences practice. The team is known for its deep litigation experience assisting clients with patent validity, Hatch-Waxman and IP infringement disputes. The team is further able to support clients on commercial matters including patent licensing and collaboration agreements.
As part of its research, Chambers interviews lawyers and clients. One client praised the RMMS team, noting that “[t]he firm has a perfect combination of litigators, trial attorneys, regulatory counsel and transactional counsel to support any pharmaceutical patent matter” while another client stated “[t]hey have an expert understanding of business and regulatory considerations that are intertwined with legal and intellectual property considerations.”
Chambers USA rankings are based on independent research and in-depth client and attorney interviews, which assess a firm’s legal knowledge, experience, and ability.
