Locke Lord has boosted its intellectual property practice with the hire of four lawyers to its London and Brussels offices.

Dominic Farnsworth joins the firm’s London office from Lewis Silkin, where he headed the U.K. Top 100 firm’s trade mark and IP portfolio management legal practice group until September 2021. He had been at the firm for 25 years, according to Lewis Silkin. He focuses on the management of global IP portfolios, IP-rich contracts, brand disputes and rights management, according to a press release by Locke Lord.
