Foley & Lardner Snag IP Co-Chair from Sheppard Mullin

Amar Thakur, who was the co-chair of Sheppard Mullin‘s IP practice group, has jumped to Foley & Lardner, bringing one other attorney with him. Thakur said that Foley’s larger IP practice and interest in his growing specialty of monetizing IP portfolios factored into the decision. Jeffrey Solomon also moved to Foley as special counsel.

Sheppar Mullin declined to comment on the move but noted that Daniel Yannuzzi has replaced Thakur as the co-chair of the IP practice group.
