Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone, Michigan’s largest corporate law firm, will open an office in Cambridge, Massachusetts this month. The 350-lawyer firm will be the only Michigan-based firm to have an office in Massachusetts; the firm already has offices in Michigan, New York, Florida, Canada and Poland. The new office will focus work on biotechnology and life sciences, intellectual property, and venture and technology. Cambridge is considered the life sciences industry’s most diverse and dynamic market, hence the firm’s desire to have a location there. To head the office, Miller Canfield has hired Raymond Arner, former Senior VP and Chief IP Counsel at Biogen Idec Inc., and Anne Marie Cook, Senior VP, Business and Corporate Development, General Counsel and Secretary of ViaCell, Inc.
