Our Firm's Story

Torrey Pines Law Group was founded in 2013 by Kevin Buckley, an accomplished patent attorney having more than 20 years of experience with international intellectual property, transactional, FDA regulatory, and IP litigation matters. The firm has grown to include more than twenty of the nation's most accomplished patent attorneys, patent agents, FDA regulatory advisors, paralegals, scientists, engineers, and business counsel.

We were recently honored to receive the 2022 Reisman Award for Best Growth Story. In addition, we have been selected by The Patent Lawyer magazine as one of the Top Ten West Coast IP and patent law firms, amongst notable large international practices including Davis Wright Tremaine, Dorsey & Whitney, Holland & Hart, Jones Day, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, Knobbe Martens, Lewis Roca, Morrison & Foerster, and Perkins Coie.

We help our clients bring impactful, and often lifesaving, technologies to market worldwide. Because we effectively translate between the languages of science, business, and the law, we are able to find solutions to complex legal problems which may not be immediately apparent. Whether before international patent offices, before opposing counsel, or in friendly transactions, we leverage the experience of our individual practitioners and foreign counsel to assist our clients with reaching their business goals and achieving their mission.

Since our firm's founding, we have successfully handled many international legal matters -- from routine to incredibly complex -- for companies and individuals researching and developing life sciences and healthcare innovations, including biotechnologies, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemistry and chemical engineering, medical devices, in vitro diagnostics, artificial intelligence (AI), software, electronics, and convergence technologies.
