Brown Rudnick, which launched in Houston in June, has added a team of intellectual property trial lawyers from Bochner PLLC, led by partner Erick Robinson, who frequently uses litigation funding for his plaintiff's patent practice.

The team that joined Boston-founded Brown Rudnick on Monday also includes partners Jayme Partridge and Jayne Piana and counsel Patrick Dunn. Prior to joining Bochner in the summer, Robinson, Partridge and Dunn practiced at Spencer Fane in Houston, and Piana was at Fletcher Yoden in Houston, according to their Linkedin pages.
