Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP (a.k.a. "Patterson," or "PBWT"), founded in 1919, is a law firm headquartered in New York City.

It is one of the first major firms in New York City to elect a woman as managing partner. In addition to its Diversity Committee, a group of Patterson Belknap attorneys formed PAC—Patterson Attorneys of Color—to assist with the enhancement of workplace diversity and the recruitment, retention and promotion of attorneys of color. Another group, Out at Patterson, focuses on issues relevant to the firm’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals, and Women Lawyers at Patterson (WLAP) focuses on women's issues.

The firm’s litigation department has enjoyed a long string of successful jury victories, ranging from patent and trademark infringement/false advertising to antitrust to professional malpractice cases.

Patterson Belknap was among the first law firms approved by the New York State CLE board as an accredited provider of continuing legal education courses.

Rankings

*Ranked #3 on The American Lawyer's A-List of the top 20 firms in the nation; ranked in the top 10 each year since the list's inception. The ranking is based on a formula that considers not only financial success, as measured by revenue per lawyer, but also associate satisfaction, pro bono commitment and diversity.

*Placed first in associate satisfaction among New York City-based firms in The American Lawyer's 2007 ranking (based on the 2007 mid-level associate survey).

*Ranked in the top 10 of The American Lawyer's 2007 pro bono survey, top 10 since 1999. In 2006, for the third consecutive year, 100% of the firm’s attorneys participated in pro bono projects, perhaps a first for a firm of our size.
