In a recent development, global law firm Bird & Bird LLP is making significant changes to its American operations. The firm is dispatching a seasoned patent litigator from their London office to San Francisco, marking not only a change in geography but also a role elevation for this litigator. In San Francisco, he will take on the role of co-head at the firm’s representation office. It’s important to note that this office is currently the firm’s sole presence in the United States.
While the reasons behind the reshuffle are not clear, one can speculate that this move could help bolster Bird & Bird’s influence and visibility in the U.S. legal market, given the litigator’s experience and expertise in the IP domain.
