Lewis and Roca LLP is proud to announce the expansion of its intellectual property practice with a new office in the Silicon Valley market. The new office will further the firm’s strategic goals, and enables increased volume of the firm’s services to their high tech industry clients.
“We are very excited about our growing intellectual property practice,” says Ken Van Winkle, Managing Partner of Lewis and Roca. “This expansion into Silicon Valley helps further the firm’s goal of becoming one of the premier Intellectual Property firms, enhances our ability to service the firm’s existing clients in the Silicon Valley area, and provides the leverage of our favorable rates to California companies.” He added that the move is part of a growing trend of regional firms expanding to serve the needs of clients looking to shift work from national and international firms.
The office will be spearheaded by partners Frank Hiscox and Dana Brody-Brown and Of Counsel Alexa Horne, all formerly of the Palo Alto office of White & Case. The addition of this team strengthens Lewis and Roca’s existing intellectual property practice, which includes a broad range of services in the areas of trademark, copyright, patent, trade secrets, rights of publicity, and technology. Lewis and Roca currently holds national ranking as #2 in volume of trademark litigation and #19 in volume of trademark applications filed in the United States. The intellectual property group is headed by Michael McCue, a partner in Lewis and Roca’s Las Vegas office.
