Your IP, protected globally

We litigate business-critical disputes, manage global portfolios, and execute transformative transactions for many of the world’s most recognized brands and innovative companies.
With lawyers strategically positioned across the US and around the world, our IP practice combines multi-jurisdictional experience with local knowledge in a way no other firm can.
