I haven't had much luck finding IP lawyers with an understanding of free software. Do you know of a list/site or someplace that would be a good place to start to find knowledgeable FOSS attys.

There is a law office in New York that specializes in it.

The FTF-legal taskforce is pretty good.http://www.fsfe.org/projects/ftf/ftf.en.html There are a lot of lawyers there including many (most?) of the ones that know about Free Software.

I think 'finding a suitable lawyer for your jurisdiction/problem' is one of the services they provide.
