There also remain many unanswered questions surrounding the transition period, the dilemma and transparency of opting out and the implementation of SPC’s within the new regime amongst others, and such uncertainty creates a challenging patent litigation environment.

TRANSNATIONAL LAW PRACTICE Richard L. Abelt T RANSNATIONAL law practice has grown dramatically in recent years, but scholarship has not kept pace. This Article fills the void in three different, yet related, ways. The first section seeks to explain the patterns of transnational law practice that have emerged in recent decades. The second describes the constraints on transnational practice, especially those imposed by national and supranational regulation. I conclude with proposals about how lawyers, professional organizations, and governments should regulate transnational law practice. Since there is no comprehensive account of the growth of transnational law practice, I have appended one, drawn from a wide variety of sources, including Martindale-Hubbell, the International Financial Law Review, and Business Lawyer,' as well as a dozen interviews with lawyers in t Professor, U.C.L.A.

David Battiscombe, a real estate partner who joined BLP from Finers Stephens Innocent, says: ‘Neville has succeeded in embedding a firm-wide “can-do” culture Eisenberg that is bearing fruit in every direction.’ MANAGING PARTNER, BERWIN LEIGHTON PAISNER Increasing profitability, lateral hires, tenacity Under Neville Eisenberg’s leadership, Berwin Leighton Paisner has been transformed from a sleepy real estate practice to a full-service City firm that is the envy of its peers. Eisenberg was elected leader in 1999 with an ambitious strategy to build a balanced firm with equal real estate, corporate and finance capability. The idea was to maintain the real estate team’s market-leading position, while increasing international work, and growing profitability. In 2004 there was no longer any doubt that Eisenberg was delivering: turnover surpassed £100m, and average equity partner profits are set to exceed £500,000 during this financial year. Furthermore, 15 lateral hires joined from some of the UK’s finest firms.
