About Miller & Mitchell "FOCUSED." "STRATEGIC." "DYNAMIC." A new rock group? Well, maybe. But these are some of the words used by the business community to describe Princeton's Global Corporate, Employment, Technology and Intellectual Property Law Firm - Miller & Mitchell PC. Business is moving at Internet speed. Change is the constant in today's international marketplace. And there is one Princeton-based firm that has not only kept up, but also led the way into the New Economy. "NEWECONOMYLAW" is what they practice. And these lawyers are truly ahead of their time. Some describe this firm with only one word - "HOT." "With Miller & Mitchell, you have the best of all worlds. Incredible depth of complex, commercial law experience, with unsurpassed personal service." "This," according to the VP, Marketing of one of the firm's largest clients, "truly sets this firm apart." Perhaps this extraordinary skill level and attention to detail has accounted for the meteoric rise of this firm to the upper echelon of the Princeton legal community. And perhaps - two other things: the extraordinary job the firm has done in its "Outside General Counsel" capacity, and the DEALS - the fact that, if there is a complex, multi-layer deal, involving companies from all over the world - you will likely find an M&M lawyer on one side of it! And what makes this firm so unique? Well, according to the firm's founders, Richard M. Miller and Cathryn A. Mitchell, two of the area's most well known corporate, technology, intellectual property and employment lawyers, it is their leading-edge understanding of all phases of business and corporate law, with a focus on mergers and acquisitions. "High stakes employment work" - counseling on behalf of companies, as well as executives both in business (often in connection with Internet start ups where stock options are a major part of the deal) and in the entertainment field, are also a staple on the firm's menu. Intellectual Property transactions and a formidable international corporate practice round out one of the most sophisticated corporate practices in the area. In addition to the firm's staple of everything from publicly traded companies to technology start-ups, the firm's entertainment and sports law practice also boasts some "famous" clients - network news executive producers, an NBA coach, and Tony-award winning regional theatre, to name a few, along with some of the country's most renowned educational and charitable not-for-profit institutions. Serving as general counsel to a number of foreign-based companies with operations in the U.S., as well as U.S. companies doing significant business overseas, rounds out its international law practice, another unique feature of the firm. As the former legal team (Richard M. Miller was General Counsel and Cathryn A. Mitchell Associate General Counsel) of Prince Sports Group, Inc., the global tennis-related sporting goods manufacturer, the firm's shareholders personally handled all of the corporate and employment work, managed an extensive worldwide portfolio of patents, trademarks and copyrights, and structured a global, multi-million dollar licensing program for six sporting goods companies. It is both the understanding of the "business" side of law from the client's perspective (Miller also served as General Counsel of Amswiss International, a securities broker-dealer, and on the legal staffs of Chesebrough-Pond's and Bausch & Lomb, and a predecessor of Salomon Smith Barney, Inc.), and their work with major law firms throughout the country which gives Miller & Mitchell its unique depth of experience. As for the change in economic climate - Miller & Mitchell, noting not only a 30% growth rate in its practice in 2001, but the steady stream of new deals - is not concerned. "In both good and bad economic times, companies need capital- equity and debt financing - and life must go on. For our clients, who are lean and strategically positioned in their industries, changing economic times present new opportunities - and there is no shortage of transactions to accompany them," according to Richard M. Miller, the firm's Managing Shareholder. This, coupled with the steady stream of employment-related counseling (there are, unfortunately, likely to be more layoffs and other employment-related issues in an economic downturn), intellectual property issues, and high tech deals - will keep this firm at the top of its game for years. Miller & Mitchell's "BOTTOM LINE / VALUE ADDED™" strategic approach is what keeps this incredible firm cranking at Warp Speed. And what is likely responsible for the firm's doubling in staff size over the past year, and its preparations to double its space in its Princeton Township offices. And the reason Miller & Mitchell has, literally, set the Princeton legal scene on fire. ©2001 MILLER & MITCHELL, P.C.
