International law firms seem to be making significant moves in their Intellectual Property (IP) departments. Notably, Allen & Overy LLP has recently enlisted the expertise of a new German IP partner for its Hamburg office. The new recruit, who remains unnamed, arrives with almost two decades of experience in the field.
Adding some multinational flavour to its team as well is McCarter & English LLP. The firm announced that it is welcoming an IP partner from Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP. The new hire will be serving the firm’s New York office and focuses on transactional matters.
Certainly, these moves reflect a commitment from both Allen & Overy and McCarter & English to build formidable IP teams equipped to navigate the complex waters of cutting-edge copyright, trademark and patent issues. It will be interesting to follow the careers of these IP stalwarts within their respective offices and observe the impact they will have on shaping the firms’ future IP strategies.
