McNeill Baur

IP boutique McNeill Baur is a firm entirely focused on life sciences, and is ranked nationally for its expertise in patent prosecution. The practitioners are well-versed in the biotechnology area, and have big law experience from a major IP firm. A peer says the firm delivers an "excellent work product" with "great billing rates." Another peer simply says: "Everyone there is fantastic."

Founding partners Rebecca McNeill and Amelia Feulner Baur specialize in a number of legal services, including prosecution, IP strategy, and post-grant proceedings. A competitor says about Baur: "She really impressed me as being really knowledgeable on prosecution strategy issues. I know a lot of clients that use them and they're very happy with their work." Both founding partners continue to be active in patent prosecution and strategic counseling for several major life sciences clients.

Mary Henninger brings her previous experience as a litigator to her current practice focused on patent prosecution and strategy. She recently assisted a life sciences client in a licensing agreement.
