Shatzer will be based in Wilson’s Washington, D.C. office. He joins the firm from Foley & Lardner, where he was the firm-wide chair of Foley’s intellectual property litigation practice.
In today’s press release at PR Newswire, CEO Steve Bochner was quoted as saying: “The firm’s IP litigation practice has grown dramatically in recent years, resulting in an impressive track record for our work in bet-the-company patent cases. Larry’s demonstrated skill as a trial lawyer, years of experience in the technology field, and familiarity with the ITC and other key trial venues make him a welcome addition to the firm. He will be a great member of the patent litigation team and an invaluable D.C.-based resource for our clients.”
Shatzer has more than 20 years of experience litigating complex intellectual property matters. His work has involved both jury and non-jury trials — including serving as first chair — as well as arguments before the U.S. Courts of Appeal for the Federal and Fourth Circuits.
