Fox Rothschild LLP has announced the hiring of James Smedley as a partner in its Princeton, New Jersey office, bolstering the firm’s intellectual property (IP) practice group. Smedley is set to enhance the legal services offered by the firm, particularly in the areas of software, information technology, and tech-enabled hardware.
As a seasoned IP attorney, Smedley is known for his expertise in assisting clients with the protection and enforcement of their intellectual property rights. His role encompasses serving as an outside general counsel to emerging growth companies, guiding them from formation to exit. This strategic hire marks Smedley’s departure from McCarter & English, a move speculated to strengthen Fox Rothschild’s capabilities within these specialized sectors.
The addition of Smedley to Fox Rothschild is expected to inject his deep industry knowledge and experience into the firm’s already robust IP practice. His track record of working closely with tech-driven companies aligns with Fox Rothschild’s commitment to providing comprehensive legal solutions to the technology sector.
