Morrison Foerster

Praised by clients as having ‘the deepest bench in patent trial attorneys,’ Morrison Foerster has a global tech-focused intellectual property litigation practice capable of representing clients in disputes at all levels of US courts. In January 2023, the firm joined forces with the California litigation boutique Durie Tangri LLP, bringing on San Francisco based trial lawyer Daralyn Durie, who acts on the behalf of inventors in the tech and life sciences sectors. In San Francisco, Michael Jacobs is a patent litigation expert, Richard Hung is an ‘exceptionally responsive, helpful, and strategic partner’ who handles patent and trade secret cases, and practice co-head Timothy Chen Saulsbury represents clients in a wide range of tech-related disputes. Co-head Bita Rahebi in Los Angeles is a trusted contact for tech companies in complex patent disputes, and co-head Mark Whitaker in Washington DC is well-regarded for his experience in high-stakes litigation. In Austin, co-head Brian Nash is praised for being ‘the attorney you want at your side’ in the Western District of Texas, and Aaron Fountain is another name to note.
