The news came as a bit of a shock. Matthew Powers, cochair of litigation at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, was leaving the firm after 18 years to start his own plaintiffs-side shop. (The June split came the same day that two other patent litigators left Weil for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.)
“I’m as excited about working as I’ve been in a long time,” Powers said at the time, adding that he felt it was time to “go in a different direction that you can’t do in the context of a large general practice firm.” Powers said his new firm, Tensegrity Law Group LLP, “will focus on handling straightforward plaintiffs work on a contingency basis.” (“Tensegrity” is a term coined by Buckminster Fuller as a contraction of tensional integrity.)
