Baker Botts welcomes new partner from Sidley Austin

Baker Botts has hired Peter Kang as a partner in its IP department in its Palo Alto office and as co-chair of the firm’s Korea-based IP practice.

Kang is a first-chair patent and IP trial lawyer who joins from Sidley Austin, where he practised for 17 years and represented clients in the technology sector.

He was also the IP lead for that firm’s Korea practice and serves as president of the International Association of Korean Lawyers Charitable Foundation.

He advises in all areas of IP law for clients that range from Silicon Valley startups to multinational electronics manufacturers, especially from Asia.

“Pete’s impressive patent and IP trial experience will help us even further in meeting the increasing demands of our technology clients globally,” said Baker Botts managing partner John Martin. “Pete has strong relationships with a range of technology clients and will add to our world-class capabilities in IP, trial and technology, which are a few of our premier specialties.”

“Pete has 30 years of patent and IP trial experience and has devoted his career to working with prominent technology clients on many of their most complex cases,” said Rob Scheinfeld, chair of Baker Botts’ IP department. “He and the clients he serves are perfect strategic fits, and we are excited to welcome him to Baker Botts.”
