A&O Shearman regularly represents national and international companies in patent infringement and invalidity proceedings, while close coordination with its international offices seamlessly facilitates the handling of cross-border proceedings. The group primarily focuses on high-tech as well as life sciences and health; key contacts for the latter are Stephan Neuhaus and Anna Wolters-Höhne, who joined from Bird & Bird LLP in December 2023. Denise Benz and Jan Ebersohl assist with technology-related disputes and are both frequently instructed with international patent disputes.
