Nixon Peabody LLP has bolstered its intellectual property practice with the addition of three new partners in California: Sasha Rao, Ashe Puri, and Brandon Stroy. The firm announced the hires on Tuesday.
Rao and Stroy will be stationed in the firm’s San Francisco office, while Puri joins the Los Angeles office. Rao specializes in patent, trademark, and copyright litigation and prosecution, and advises on IP strategy and transactions, with a focus on advances in artificial intelligence, fintech, and drone technology.
Puri brings his expertise in patent infringement disputes spanning various technology and life sciences sectors, including semiconductors, wireless networking, uncrewed aircraft, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and computer hardware and software.
This strategic expansion is intended to strengthen Nixon Peabody’s foothold on the West Coast and enhance its capabilities in key areas of intellectual property law. The integration of these distinguished partners is expected to bolster the firm’s ability to serve clients in innovative sectors.
