Terrible experience - Hostile work environment - Anonymous employee Ellsworth Intellectual Property Group Employee Review

We have a great work environment here. I am definitely biased, since I am one of the managing partners, but everyone gets along well, there's no office drama, and we get our work done. It's an excellent core group of attorneys and staff members. They all do their jobs well, and I enjoy working with each of them. I worked at the predecessor firm, but left a few years ago. The difference in the environment between the predecessor firm and the present firm is like night and day.

While we provide all sorts of IP services, we do specialize in patent prosecution. We don't do any patent litigation. For some, that would be a con. Others like the steady and predictable work patent prosecution provides.

I have been working at Stanzione & Kim, LLP for about 6 years and love the small, intimate atmosphere of this workplace. I believe there to be a close knit environment between the staff, attorneys and partners which allows for this firm to flow smoother than most places I’ve worked. While all firms can be very intense and possibly high in stress, I thoroughly enjoy the teamwork and bonds I have formed here in which we all work together to keep this firm heading in a positive direction. Because of this and the steady workload, I know the future will present even more opportunities and great growth for Stanzione & Kim. The firm also offers great benefits and the compensation is very generous and that is very hard to come by these days. In addition, they offer a 401K and profit-sharing plan to which the firm contributes. Overall, this is a fast growing, high in quality firm that I consider a small family that works well together for the greater purpose of making this firm one of the best in the country in regards to our work quality and clientele relations. I will also be bold in saying that this firm has a support staff that I would rank one of the top in its field of work.

If you’re looking for a firm that focuses on litigation, this is not the place for you. Stanzione & Kim tends to mainly focus on Patent Prosecution, which is what I happen to enjoy most about this firm.
