Duane Morris has hired a partner from UK law firm DWF into the IP practice group of its London office.
John Benjamin previously led DWF’s data protection and cybersecurity practice, as well as the London commercial and technology team.
At Duane Morris, Benjamin will focus his practice on IP, technology and privacy law, dealing with both transactional matters and litigation
“John brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to our IP Practice Group, particularly in the increasingly important area of privacy law,” said.
Matthew Taylor, CEO and chairman of Duane Morris, said: “His presence, along with the recent additions of IP litigators Kevin Anderson in Washington, DC, and John Alison in Taiwan and DC, will continue to strengthen our IP client offerings.”
Benjamin’s client base includes global financial institutions and pharmaceutical companies, as well as social media, consumer electronics, and FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies.
He said: “I was drawn by the firm’s commitment to London and am thrilled to be joining the practice. As we move into a world that is dominated by data, I am keen to offer my skills to the Duane Morris client base.”
