Ch-Ch-Changes at STL... Introducing Atkins Intellectual Property, PLLC!

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don’t want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time

Ziggy Stardust says it a lot better than I ever could.

After 10+ happy years at the Seattle law firm of Graham & Dunn, I have decided to open my own firm. I figured in this economy, how could I miss?

Same practice: intellectual property law and litigation. New name: Atkins Intellectual Property, PLLC — Atkins IP for short. I think it has a nice ring to it. Don’t you?

Oh yeah, the new firm means new and improved rates. 

Kind of nice being my own boss (even if it meant I had to work on Labor Day).

The Web site is still being developed, but here’s a preview of things to come.

Now open for blogging, and for business. So far, it’s all Hunky Dory.

Mike - Congratulations. Post-Howrey I know several colleagues who decided to open up their own shops and they now wonder why they didn't do it sooner.
