“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.”
