A team of Shook, Hardy & Bacon patent lawyers have broken away from the Am Law 200 firm to start their own shop, a Shook Hardy spokesman confirmed Friday. As first reported by the Kansas City Business Journal, former Shook, Hardy partners ERIC BURESH and ADAM SEITZ have formed Erise IP in Leawood, Kansas, along with five associates and at least one patent agent.
Shook, Hardy chairman John Murphy told the Business Journal that Buresh and Seitz, who were both income partners, are taking most of the firm’s work for client Garmin with them. Murphy added that the departures will not affect Shook, Hardy’s budget projections for 2012.
