Winthrop & Weinstine shareholder joins Barnes & Thornburg

Barnes & Thornburg has added Bradley Walz, previously a shareholder at Winthrop & Weinstine, as a partner in its corporate department in Minneapolis.

Walz focuses on helping companies to monetise and protect their assets. He has advised on the buying, selling, and licensing of IP assets, as well as trademark agreements, software development agreements, and data privacy matters.

Over his career, Walz has managed global trademark portfolios for companies in fields such as fast food, software, and jewellery, and he has overseen the transfer of global portfolios in the context of international acquisitions.

Walz has experience in the resolution of trademark, copyright, false advertising, and cybersquatting disputes, at the district courts and at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

Connie Lahn, managing partner of the firm’s Minneapolis office, said: “His experience assisting emerging companies in the early stages of their life cycle and his understanding of their unique financial needs is a perfect complement to Barnes & Thornburg’s entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to providing exceptional value to our clients.”
