McDermott Will & Emery has expanded its presence in California by establishing a new office in San Diego. The office will initially house five employees, including three partners specializing in intellectual property (IP). Among these personnel is patent litigator Douglas Carsten, who will serve as the managing partner of the new location. These launches are part of McDermott’s strategic growth in the region.
The team in the San Diego office comprises patent litigators with previous connections to Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, emphasizing the firm’s emphasis on bolstering its IP practice. The decision to open in San Diego not only underscores McDermott’s commitment to the California market but also aims to leverage the city’s dynamic landscape for IP and patent litigation.
The development also includes the relocation of the firm’s chief human resources officer to the San Diego office, signaling the firm’s broader operational commitment to the region. This move reflects a strategic choice to attract and retain top talent in the competitive legal market of Southern California.
