A six-partner intellectual property team has left Hunton & Williams’ Washington, D.C. office for Goodwin Procter. Thomas Scott, the former chair of Hunton & Williams’ IP practice, will chair Goodwin’s national IP practice. Joining Scott are Scott Robertson, Jennifer Albert, Patrick Doody, David Young and Stephen Schreiner. Especially after its 2004 merger with Shea & Gardner, Goodwin has significantly strengthened its D.C. presence. On a hunt for high profile laterals, the firm recently hired Mark Heller to start a FDA practice in D.C.
