All Kenyon IP lawyers to join Andrews Kurth
Boutique intellectual property law firm Kenyon & Kenyon has revealed that all 55 of its lawyers will transfer to law firm Andrews Kurth.
The energy, finance and technology firm will rename its intellectual property and technology practice and certain offices as Andrews Kurth Kenyon, with the Kenyon team expected to transfer in early September.
The firm will add Kenyon’s Silicon Valley office in Palo Alto, California, a key venue for technology innovation and intellectual property litigation.
Bob Jewell, Andrews Kurth’s managing partner, said: “It’s not often that you find a firm that shares a similar culture and core values, and it became clear early on that the Kenyon lawyers were a good fit for us.
“Strengthening these practice specialities immediately makes us a top-tier destination for domestic and international clients for their intellectual property and technology needs.”
Edward Colbert, currently managing partner of Kenyon, will serve on the firm’s policy committee and as global co-chair of the intellectual property and technology practice.
He said: “We are extremely pleased to be part of this exciting firm. Andrews Kurth has a stellar reputation, and I am confident that with the broad geographic reach and deep resources of Andrews Kurth we can build on our international success as a full-service intellectual property and technology firm.”
