A seven-partner IP team from Hunton & Williams will be joining Goodwin Proctor in Washington, D.C. Goodwin’s IP practice is mostly based out of Boston and New York; the firm did not have IP lawyers in D.C. until this recent addition. Thomas Scott Jr., Hunton’s former IP chairman, will head Goodwin’s 145-lawyer national IP practice. The other partners joining Scott in D.C. are Scott Robertson, Jennifer Albert, Patrick Doody, David Young, Stephen Schreiner, and Christopher Campbell. The firm has been actively searching for high-profile laterals to join the D.C. office lately. FDA attorney Mark Heller joined in January, and in June a group of private equity experts joined from Hogan & Hartson. Currently, the firm is seeking lawyers who focus on securities enforcement, real estate and real estate capital markets, corporate, and antitrust work.
