Chadbourne has lost multiple intellectual property lawyers the past couple of years. John Squires left in September to join Perkins Coie. Squires was the co-chair of Chadbourne’s intellectual property department. John Hintz left the firm to go to Haynes and Boone this past February. In 2008, Joseph Calvaruso left the firm for Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe.

A spokeswoman from Cooley said that 15 associates and support staff from Chadbourne joined Cooley with Hanchuk and Kheit.
