WilmerHale Ranks at the Top in PLC Cross-border Life Sciences Handbook
WilmerHale and eight of its partners are recognized in the PLC Cross-border Life Sciences Handbook 2006/07. The firm is prominently featured in seven US practice areas—among the top three “leading” law firms in the nation for each of the Commercial and Partnering, Corporate, and Regulatory (medical device) practice areas; “highly recommended” for Intellectual Property and Patent Counseling; and “recommended” for its Regulatory and Competition/Antitrust practices. WilmerHale’s capabilities in England were also featured, as the firm was “recommended” in the Competition/Antitrust, Corporate and Intellectual Property categories.

Three WilmerHale partners were ranked in the Commercial and Partnering category, consistent with the firm’s acknowledged preeminence in this practice area. Meanwhile, WilmerHale’s FDA Department Chair, Mark Heller, is prominently featured in the Regulatory (medical device) category, a section new to the handbook this year.

The complete list of WilmerHale’s individual rankings, along with the category in which each is recognized, is as follows:

Mark Heller –“Leading” in USA Regulatory [medical devices]
Alfred C. Server, M.D., Ph.D. –“Leading” in USA Commercial/Partnering

Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale & Dorr, L.L.P.

William Perlstein Earns Paul P. Brountas Award
On November 2, 2006 Co-Managing Partner William Lee revived the Paul P. Brountas Award for Extraordinary Contributions to the Firm, naming his Co-Managing Partner William Perlstein as WilmerHale’s first recipient. The Paul P. Brountas award, named after an honored partner who contributed greatly to Hale and Dorr, recognizes the special contributions of an individual to the firm.

As Mr. Lee explained in his remarks, “The Paul P. Brountas Award is intended to recognize those who have given more to the firm than anyone could have expected and certainly more then the firm ever had a right to ask for. The award was named for Paul P. Brountas because he gave more as a lawyer, a business developer, a trainer, a partner and to the whole community than the firm could ever have envisioned.”

Mr. Lee continued, “Judged by these standards, WilmerHale’s first recipient was an easy choice. For more then three years I have been working side-by-side with William Perlstein, so I know first-hand that he thinks about the firm day and night. He has given more of himself to the firm than he was ever asked for, considering and agonizing over every issue faced. William Perlstein constantly thinks about the firm, the partnership and each of us by putting the firm first, his partners second and himself last.”

The Paul P. Brountas Award is a Hale and Dorr tradition carried over to WilmerHale, illustrating that the essence of predecessor firms remain alive and well in today’s practice.

Donohue Brown Mathewson & Smyth LLC

a Cook County jury found in favor of an emergency room physician represented by Sherri M. Arrigo and Timothy L. Hogan.
The Firm's client was an Emergency Room Physician at Provena St. Joseph's in Joliet, IL. The plaintiff, a 31 year old male, contended that the defendant physician failed to properly diagnose and treat the plaintiff's ischemic stroke after he presented to the emergency room with neurological symptoms. The plaintiff claimed that the failure to diagnose the ischemic stroke deprived him of the opportunity to receive the drug TPA within the three hour window of opportunity for giving the drug after the onset of symptoms.

The plaintiff requested approximately 6.3 million dollars from the jury and claimed that he suffers from left sided paralysis, seizure disorder and cognitive disorders as a result of the ischemic stroke. After nearly three weeks of trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant physician. The defense successfully argued that the defendant physician timely contacted the appropriate consultants and that the plaintiff was not a candidate for TPA during the three hour window of opportunity because of the clinical suspicion of a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
