Patent litigation specialist, William F. Abrams, has jumped ship from law firm Bingham McCutchen to join King & Spalding in its Silicon Valley office.
At Bingham he was a partner and former co-chair of the IP practice group. Abrams has 30 years’ experience as an IP lawyer, and focuses on patent litigation and trade secrets disputes.
“This is a great opportunity for me to help build King & Spalding’s IP practice in the Silicon Valley,” said Abrams.
“Bill is an outstanding litigator with great trial skills,” said Timothy T. Scott, managing partner of King & Spalding's Silicon Valley office.
“I am pleased that he has joined our team and know he will contribute greatly to our efforts to expand our IP litigation work and to field additional top talent for our office.”
“Bill provides additional depth and breadth to our IP practice and we welcome him to the firm,” added Holmes J. Hawkins, III, head of King & Spalding’s IP practice group. “We look forward to Bill’s anchoring and increasing our patent litigation practice on the West Coast.”
Abrams’s arrival follows that of patent litigators Tony V. Pezzano and Michael P. Dougherty, who joined the New York office in April.
