Austin

The Austin office bolsters our national Intellectual Property practice with a full-time office in Texas and the addition of seasoned IP litigator Bill Parrish, who has been based in Austin for over 30 years.  The office will focus on patent litigation in the burgeoning Western District of Texas, but will also offer Parrish’s and the firm’ s extensive experience with other intellectual property disputes, including trade secret, trademark, unfair competition and copyright, as well as complex business cases, representing both plaintiffs and defendants.  Parrish was named Austin’s “Lawyer of the Year” for Patent Litigation in the 2020 edition of Best Lawyers®.  He also serves as a neutral mediator in IP and other complex commercial cases.  Of course, our Austin lawyers will work closely with lawyers from our other offices to provide expertise in other types of matters, including corporate and securities, finance, private equity, M&A, tax and venture capital.
