Competitive Landscape? Profitable? Client Visits Market Share & other firms retained for similar work? Potential for cross selling? Hiring new counsel / replacing existing counsel in any areas? Sending out new RFP’s? What are the rates and demand by timekeeper in other markets, by practice area – both existing representation & potential growth areas Opportunity Assessment / Prioritization

51. Candidate 3: Medtronic Received RFP for IP Litigation New GC, Cameron Findlay, hired in 2009 Findlay was GC at Aon Corporation in Chicago (2003 - 2009) Former Partner at Sidley (1993 – 2001) Potential to follow a similar path as former Sara Lee GC Rick Palmore?
60. Medtronic: IP Litigation By Size 90% of Medtronic’s IP Lit is handled by firms of 40 or more; 65% by 100 or more. Overall, 86% of all litigation is handled by firms of 40 or more, and 40% is handled by firms of 500 or more attorneys.
61. Additional Considerations One of Medtronic’s greatest needs is IP Lit, something Aon didn’t have Has retained a Dallas-based litigation boutique for IP Litigation in Texas, and retained an AmLaw 50 firm based in Dallas for IP Transactions. Is there a pattern of Aon retaining certain firms in specific markets? Medtronic? Which firms did Aon historically retain in certain jurisdictions, and for what practice areas? How often did Aon change outside counsel? Is there a pattern? How often does Medtronic appear to change outside counsel?
62. Medtronic / Aon: Additional Insight Medtronic’s primary outside counsel had intermittent patterns of picking up work in additional areas of representation. As for Aon, there is a history of firms handling more than one area of work. With Mr. Findlay now at Medtronic, is possible that Medtronic will now begin retaining firms for more than one primary area of representation? If so, it will dramatically increase the competitive landscape for the IP Litigation, but also offers additional opportunities for client development.

Editor's Notes
This is explained by the fact that, when given unintelligent information, the majority of test subjects (2/3) resorted to using intuition to make their decisions, while those given intelligent information were able to optimally use both intuition and analytical reasoningProfessionals given unintelligent information were also twice as variable (less consistent) in their decision making than those who were presented with intelligent information
2010 pop in then 64% pop in
Pop each stuff in…
One at a time for these as well
New openings, mergers, etc…..can even see out of which offices the work is being handled – how embedded is the client? Handling deals and IP as well? Also, mention cross selling myths vs. reality
Competitive landscape – size of firms in markets, etc.
