DLA Piper has boosted its IP and technology practice with the addition of two partners.

Ben Mulcahy and Gina Reif Ilardi join the firm’s Los Angeles and New York offices respectively from Jenner & Block.

Mulcahy, who was the co-chair of Jenner & Block’s trademark, advertising and unfair competition team, focuses his practice on marketing, virtual reality and gaming.

Both of the partners will serve as co-chairs of the firm’s newly formed national advertising team.
