It’s hard to believe a decade has passed since we delivered our first edition of Pro Te: Solutio to your door. Those years have brought enormous changes in the world and in our industry. Innovation has driven everything we see and touch and has served as a catalyst for much of our content. At the time of his retirement, George Butler, one of the founding members of Butler Snow, remarked that the Xerox machine had been the innovation with the most impact upon the practice of law in his time. Imagine how he might react today as we maneuver our way through social media, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, gene therapies, and even digital drugs. The prospect of litigation financing would have truly boggled his mind.
Reflection on the first ten years of Pro Te necessarily involves looking through the prism of our own experiences, both personally and professionally. As in the rest of the world, much has also changed at Butler Snow. Only a decade ago, our firm was less than 100 lawyers with three offices. Today, we stand at 350 lawyers in 24 offices in the United States and internationally. Our pharmaceutical, medical device, and healthcare practice has grown into a truly national practice with trials in more than 30 states, regulatory and compliance counseling, and business advice to pharmaceutical and medical device companies as well as to hospitals. We have been privileged to be involved in some of the most exciting and innovative developments affecting our clients this decade.
