In an effort to grow its nearly year-old New York office, Fenwick & West has brought on Jeffrey Greene as a trademark partner from Foley & Lardner.
Fenwick announced Wednesday its hire of Greene, who served as vice chair of Foley & Lardner's intellectual property department. When Fenwick opened its Big Apple base in May 2016 with 10 lawyers, the firm's chairman Richard Dickson said that IP would be a key focus of the new office, along with corporate transactional work.
Greene, who joined Foley & Lardner in 2007 from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, is the first Fenwick trademark partner in New York. He will work closely with Daniel Brownstone, a patent partner who relocated from Fenwick's San Francisco office last year. Greene said that Fenwick's technology focus is a good fit for his clients, which include large financial institutions, a life sciences startup and a large publishing company that distributes print and digital media.
