Howrey has recruited Mark Hodgson from Taylor Wessing for its European IP team. Hodgson was a partner at Taylor Wessing for nine years and was the head of its life sciences practice. He is leaving the firm because of the potential for conflicts between one of his key clients and his current firm’s wider IP practice. Hodgson will join Howrey on April 30, reuniting with former Simmons & Simmons colleague Richard Willoughby.
