"After 22 successful years at ITT, I decided to take advantage of their early retirement package. As part of my decision-making process, I looked around to find just the right 'of counsel' arrangement with a law firm. I talked to several large NYC firms that I knew well and to RatnerPrestia, a Philadelphia area firm with thirty-plus lawyers that I also knew well. After all the talk, I weighed my options and decided on RatnerPrestia. The firm is not so large that I'm lost -- I make a difference. It does not carry the overheads of large NYC firms and their high billing rates. I felt that with RatnerPrestia's billing structure, it would be easier to build a good practice. The skills of RatnerPrestia's incumbent lawyers allowed me to build a strong practice including patent prosecution, trademark portfolio management, litigation, and transactional work. My clients receive timely first rate service at reasonable prices. They know they are important to the firm and they actually know the lawyers doing the work. We are building strong relationships. On top of all that, the Philadelphia area is a great place to live. I made the right choice." — Bob Seitter, Joined RP in 2002, Chair of IP Transactions Group. "I had been practicing intellectual property law for close to twenty years in private practice, in the government, and formerly as Vice President Intellectual Property, Legal, at a drug delivery company and Director Intellectual Property Litigation at a fortune 100 telecommunications company. So I had a keen sense of the kind of firm that would best suit my needs. There are many reasons I joined RatnerPrestia. The culture of the firm was a big draw. People care about the quality of their work product and the services they provide to clients. The atmosphere is very collegial -- people like coming to work and socializing with one another outside of work. It was also important to me that the firm encourages and supports worthwhile professional activities. In addition, I wanted to work at a law firm with a diverse intellectual property practice that would fully utilize my background in alternative dispute resolution, litigation, and corporate practice." — Harrie Samaras, Joined RP in 2003, Co-Chair of Litigation & Dispute Resolution Group.
