In a strategic move aimed at reinforcing its tech capabilities, Am Law 25 firm Paul Hastings has acquired a six-partner IP litigation team from celebrated firm Allen & Overy. The team will operate from Palo Alto, New York, and Washington, D.C., bolstering the firm’s presence across these key cities.
Renowned for its expertise in patent litigation and handling matters before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, International Trade Commission, as well as other IP-specific tribunals, this team brings on board highly reputable legal professionals among which include Shamita Etienne-Cummings, Lisa Nguyen, Eric Lancaster, James Gagen, and Grace Wang.
This acquisition comes as a significant step for Paul Hastings as it commits to expanding its tech offerings in Northern California. By adding this highly adept team to its fold, the firm sends a strong signal about its commitment to its clients in this area of law, and its intention to remain competitive in the legal landscape.
