SAN FRANCISCO (February 3) -- Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton announced today that Partner James Gilliland was one of only 57 litigators nationwide to be selected to The BTI Consulting Group's (BTI) Client Service All-Stars 2012. This elite group of attorneys received this distinction for delivering the absolute best client service to Fortune 1000 clients.
The BTI conducted interviews with more than 240 corporate counsel at large and Fortune 1000 companies to probe at all aspects of client relationships and to compile its list of client service all-stars. The attorneys selected had to be singled out by name – in an unprompted manner – by a member of corporate counsel for driving superior client relationships.
Mr. Gilliland focuses his practice on the representation of high-technology companies in litigation regarding claims based upon patent, copyright and trademark infringement, breach of contract, breach of warranty, fraud, unfair competition and violation of the antitrust laws. He has appeared in federal and state trial and appellate courts around the United States. Mr. Gilliland also serves as a mediator in the Northern District of California’s Alternative Dispute Resolution program. He has handled more than forty mediations either as mediator or counsel for one of the parties. Mr. Gilliland served as Chairman of Townsend and Townsend and Crew from 2001 to 2010.
