Mayer Brown continues IP expansion

Mayer Brown has expanded its IP team and hired patent litigator Jamie Beaber as partner in its IP practice.

Beaber, formerly a partner at Steptoe & Johnson LLP, will be joined by four counsel and six associates, who will work at the Washington, DC and Chicago offices.

He has represented clients in litigation before District courts across the US, particularly in the Eastern District of Texas and the District of Delaware.

Alan Grimaldi, co-leader of Mayer Brown’s global IP practice, said Beaber is “well-known throughout the industry” for his “technical patent litigation work.”

“We are thrilled to welcome him and his team to the firm,” Grimaldi added.

Beaber, who will work at the Washington, DC office, is affiliated with several bar associations and is currently the co-chair of the Federal Circuit Bar Association’s International Trade Committee.

Mayer Brown’s global IP practice has nearly 100 lawyers in more than eight offices, including the US, Europe and Asia.
