Prominent Intellectual Property Law Firm Opens Silicon Valley Office

    IRVINE, CA, January 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Irvine-based intellectual property law firm Fish & Tsang LLP (F&T) today announced its expansion into Northern California with the opening of a Redwood City office. The new location features three highly experienced IP attorneys, plus paralegal support and administrative staff to boost the firm's litigation practice. The addition marks F&T's second California location and will provide increased accessibility for its roster of domestic and international clients.

"When I founded the firm in 2007, our primary goal was to provide clients with comprehensive IP solutions to help them achieve their dreams," said Founding Partner Robert Fish. "To see Fish & Tsang grow from nine IP professionals to more than 30 attorneys, paralegals and staff - and now two California offices - is beyond anything I ever imagined for our firm."

Conveniently located in Silicon Valley - a hotbed of IP activity for biotech, technology and medical inventors - the new office will reinforce the firm's commitment to providing the strategic solutions clients have come to expect from the acclaimed IP firm. Managing F&T's Silicon Valley office, which will focus primarily on patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and other types of intellectual property litigation, is F&T Partner John van Loben Sels. He brings nearly 20 years of legal experience to F&T's Bay Area location and will oversee the firm's litigation practice - maintaining F&T's reputation for excellence and track record of favorable results for clients.

"Fish & Tsang has built a global reputation for its innovative solutions and ability to secure positive outcomes for inventors across a wide breadth of industries," said van Loben Sels. "It is fulfilling to be part of a team built upon an environment of encouragement, collaboration and trust, and I look forward to helping to cement F&T's presence in the Bay Area."

Since the firm's inception, F&T has experienced a nearly 110 percent growth in personnel, coupled with significant revenue growth, averaging nearly 20 percent annually. More recently, from 2012 to 2014, the firm experienced a nearly 70 percent revenue jump. Last year, F&T also welcomed Partner Mei Tsang to its company marquee and the firm was recognized by Daily Journal as a Top Boutique Firm. It was similarly cited as a Best Place to Work and Fastest-Growing Private Company by Orange County Business Journal. F&T's expansion into Northern California tracks a long-term organizational vision and provides clients with additional resources to advance their inventions. In March, F&T will host a special open house to celebrate its new location and welcome clients, colleagues, community members, local dignitaries and staff.
