About the Firm5, 6
Kenyon & Kenyon LLP, located in the heart of Manhattan, is one of the country’s most-esteemed intellectual-property firms. Its practice is loosely organized around the three areas of patents, copyrights, and trademarks and has a strong presence in intellectual-property issues that arise in both the electrical engineering and chemical fields. The firm’s clients are primarily large electronics, computer, chemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, and manufacturing companies. Associates get to work closely with the partners, some of whom are among the top people in the field. Unlike other intellectual-property firms, associates are permitted to do copyright and trademark work in addition to patent law and to determine their own mix of work. The firm’s associates here are considered part of the team and in general find the work interesting, receive good experience, are well paid, and have a manageable work load. The firm is deeply committed to both minority recruitment and its duties to the community; hence, it encourages its attorneys to take up pro bono matters.
Hiring Criteria7, 8
The firm looks for brilliant candidates who hail from top law schools and also offer a technical background in electrical, chemical, or mechanical engineering or physics, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, computer science, and related fields. The candidates must also possess outstanding written and interpersonal skills.
