Brown Rudnick has expanded its footprint in the competitive intellectual property landscape by welcoming three new partners to its international litigation practice in Houston. The new additions, Erick Robinson, Jayme Partridge, and Jayne Piana, bring a wealth of experience in patent and intellectual property litigation to the firm.
According to the firm, Erick Robinson is known for his expertise in “bet-the-business” patent cases. His clientele ranges from Fortune 100 companies to sole inventors, allowing him a diverse perspective on both plaintiff and defendant sides in high-stakes patent disputes. Robinson’s addition is likely to strengthen Brown Rudnick’s capabilities in handling complex litigation for major corporate clients.
Jayme Partridge, another distinguished member joining the team, focuses on intellectual property cases with an emphasis on patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation. Partridge brings insights and strategic approaches essential for navigating the intricacies of intellectual property claims, including the burgeoning area of trade secrets, which has seen increasing legal activity in recent years.
Jayne Piana rounds out the new partner trio, specializing as a patent litigator. Her comprehensive expertise includes advising clients on intellectual property protection, technology transactions, disputes, and assessing freedom-to-operate issues. Piana’s presence in Brown Rudnick’s Houston office signals the firm’s commitment to enhancing its advisory services in intellectual property law and litigation.
In addition to the partners, Patrick Dunn has joined as counsel, further bolstering the team’s capabilities. The strategic moves were first reported by Bloomberg Law, illustrating the firm’s ongoing expansion and specialization efforts within the dynamic area of intellectual property law.
