Maria Scungio, co-chair of the trademark, copyright and advertising practice at Locke Lord, left the firm this week to join the New York office of Boston-based intellectual property boutique Wolf, Greenfield & Sacks.

“Wolf Greenfield has an excellent reputation,” said Scungio, who had worked at Locke Lord since January 2015, when it absorbed her former firm Edwards Wildman Palmer. Scungio joined what was then called Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge more than a decade ago from Fross Zelnick Lehrman & Zissu, an IP firm she joined in 2003 after fleeing now-defunct Pennie & Edmonds.

Scungio co-chaired the international trademark practice at Edwards Wildman Palmer, a Boston-based Am Law 100 firm that fell on hard times financially ahead of its combination with Locke Lord two years ago. Scungio said her move to Wolf Greenfield, another firm with Boston roots that opened its New York office late last year, was predicated on her desire to return to a smaller firm environment, as well as the expanding needs of her clients for more in-depth and creative IP solutions.
