Bradford Lyerla has joined Jenner & Block LLP as a partner in its Chicago office, the firm announced in June.
He moves from IP boutique Marshall, Gerstein & Borun, based in Chicago, where he was a partner.
Lyerla has been first-chair in 40 patent litigation matters and lead counsel in numerous other trials and arbitrations. His work includes handling Lanham Act, antitrust, and trademark and copyright infringement litigation matters.
Harry Roper, chair of Jenner & Block’s IP practice, said: “Lyerla is a seasoned trial lawyer who will add depth to our patent trial practice and augment our already strong platform in pharmaceuticals, chemicals and power electronics, as well as semiconductor, Internet and automotive-related issues.”
