Intellectual Property Litigation Chair Matthew Hurley spoke to Managing IP on how intellectual property arbitration lawyers are scouting new leads both internally and externally as they prepare for a possible spike in alternative dispute resolution. Matt observed a rise in arbitration matters and how he and his transactional colleagues are noticing clients draft arbitration provisions in their agreements.
Matt commented, "The fact that we're seeing more arbitration provisions in their agreements will increase the trend towards the growth of arbitration of disputes down the road. Word of mouth is very important, and clients are talking to folks in the arbitration world and getting referrals. That's a really [key] way of developing new business as well."
