Squire Patton Boggs hires Paris pair
Law firm Squire Patton Boggs has hired Catherine Muyl as a partner and Marion Cavalier as an associate for its IP team in Paris.
Both previously worked at Foley Hoag. Muyl is a member of the Paris Bar and has more than 30 years’ experience in litigation concerning patents, trademarks, copyrights, related rights, registered designs and software.
She has also represented clients on trademark issues before the French and European Union Trademark Offices as well as on domain name disputes. Her clients have included French companies and the French subsidiaries of US companies in industries including technology, media, aerospace, healthcare and fintech. Cavalier’s experience includes litigation in the technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences sectors.
David Elkins, Squire Patton Boggs’ global IP and technology practice group leader, said: “Catherine and Marion are multifaceted international practitioners who strengthen our European IP capabilities on both commercial and contentious matters. They also bring to our table depth of experience handling data protection issues for clients. These are strengths we intend to continue to grow and we welcome them to the team.”
Muyl said: “Many of my clients are US companies with activities worldwide. Squire Patton Boggs’ extensive international reach and practice provides a perfect environment to continue to meet their expanding needs.” Carole Sportes, the firm’s Paris managing partner, said: “IP/IT is a strong focus of our firm, and it is a natural expansion for us to offer services in this field in France as a complement to our full suite of practices.”
The firm’s Paris office has approximately 45 lawyers and the firm’s IP and technology practice has more than 100 lawyers and patent agents.
