Spencer Fane LLP recently fortified its growing intellectual property (IP) division with the acquisition of three adept attorneys from McKool Smith. The trio, known for their specialization in patent and trade secrets disputes, have built reputations as experts in high-stakes, ‘bet-the-company’ litigation. This news comes as Spencer Fane is engaged in a period of expansion, with the new partners set to strengthen their presence in Washington D.C.
The group is led by a distinguished first-chair trial lawyer who has been critical in several major litigation proceedings.

By ensconcing these seasoned professionals within the team, Spencer Fane not only plans to enhance its expertise in patent and trade secrets disputes, but also evolve as a formidable contender in the sector.
For the legal professionals watching the shifting landscape of intellectual property law, this move signals a noteworthy expansion in services from Spencer Fane. With these new additions to their team, they are set to offer enhanced coverage over more complex and critical aspects of IP law.
