As we reported last month, Fish and Richardson is closing its office in Austin. Nine IP lawyers from that office have signed on with Bracewell & Giuliani, according to a press releasefrom Bracewell.
The IP group is headed by Alan Albright, who was managing principal of Fish & Richardson’s Austin office. Ed Cavazos, Barry Shelton, Andrew Gajkowski, Chris Johnson, Betty Chen, Michael Chibib and David Hoffman round out the group. Some of the nine have already made the move, and the rest will come over as they wrap up current projects.
Bracewell & Giuliani employs more than 400 lawyers at offices in Texas, New York, Washington DC, and Connecticut, as well as in Dubai, Kazakhstan, and London.
