Pepper Hamilton has added to its IP group again – this time the lawyers come from Cozen O’Connor. Earlier this month, five other IP attorneys joined the Boston office. From Cozen, partners Mark DeLuca and Paul K. Legaard joined the firm’s Berwyn, PA, office and were followed by four other intellectual property attorneys and one patent agent. DeLuca commented that he and the group wanted a firm with a more active life sciences business practice. Sources from Pepper Hamilton report that the firm still is seeking to expand its intellectual property practice; likewise, Cozen is looking for replacements for its losses in the IP department.
