Jones Day

Mehr Information
The trade secret practice at Jones Day is headed up by San Diego-based Randall Kay, who has over 30 years’ experience handling complex litigation in often international contexts, spanning France, Belgium, Taiwan, China, South Korea and Japan. Associates Alyssa Orellana and Nicholas Hodges are also key names in San Diego. Also in California are IP expert Andrea Jeffries in Los Angeles; litigation-focused ‘experienced trial attorney with a deep technical skillset’ Jennifer Bennett in San Francisco; Steven Zadravecz who is particularly experienced acting on behalf of the employer, and Cary Sullivan whose client portfolio spans the array of industry sectors, in Irvine. On the East Coast, Michael Oblon who works from the Washington DC office stands out in particular for his expertise handling litigation and counseling in relation to electronics and software tech-related work. The team is noted for its treating clients as if they are part of ’one unified team’ and it represents such well-known names as MedImpact Healthcare Systems Inc. Its caseload includes complex matters of misappropriation brought against high-ranking executives; Zadravecz succeeded in such a matter brought by Applied Medical Resources after a seven week jury trial in Orange County.

  • ‘Jones Day staffed my matter with a strong cross-functional team, including a trade secrets expert, an employment expert, and a strong litigator. I felt supported on all aspects of the case.'

  • 'They all worked together seamlessly to give us excellent advice that took into account the nuances of the matter from all aspects.’

  • ‘This team was always incredibly responsive, always answered my questions thoughtfully and completely and in a really timely manner. I knew they were on top of things, and they really engaged me, as the client, in every step of a complicated case with a lot of strategic decisions.'

  • 'I always felt like they truly saw us as one unified team, which I do not take for granted, especially on a case where we pushed back a decent amount on various strategy positions.'

  • 'The Jones Day IP team is stellar. The mix of skills between Randy Kay, who literally 'wrote the book' on theft of IP in California, and Jennifer Bennett, who is an experienced trial attorney with a deep technical skillset and ability to work through complex technical projects proved unbeatable. I highly recommend this team.'

  • 'Jennifer Bennett entered into the middle of ongoing multinational case. We needed to get more more involved in the technology discussions and have a litigator who understood the technical issues and could mentor the internal teams as well as foreign counsel. She did both beautifully.'

  • 'Rick Bergstrom is simply the best there is. His ability to get to the heart of a matter and distil complex facts is unparalleled in my experience. Lesson learned - use only the very best and I will have no regrets. He works with an extremely able colleague, Koree Wooley. I trust what both Rick and Koree have to say on California employment law - and I can give no higher praise than that for external legal counsel.'
