Schiff Hardin expands IP litigation team

Schiff Hardin LLP has expanded its IP group with the hiring of Imron Aly as a partner.

Aly will co-lead the pharmaceuticals and biologics patent litigation team at the firm’s Chicago office.

He focuses on patent infringement and trade secret litigation, with an emphasis on pharmaceuticals, medical implants and devices.

Prior to joining Schiff Hardin, Aly was a partner at Winston & Strawn LLP in Chicago.

Stephen Hankins, leader of Schiff Hardin’s IP group, said Aly’s “diverse practice” and expertise in pharmaceutical and medical device litigation would make him a perfect complement to the team.

Schiff Hardin LLP is a general practice law firm with offices across the US, including New York, San Francisco and Atlanta.
