“Rick and David worked closely together early in their careers in Silicon Valley, and we are excited to have them reunite as part of our IP team representing clients nationally and internationally,” said Edward Playfair, Adams and Reese’s Global Intellectual Property Team Leader.
“Their previous synergy, combined with their impressive working backgrounds in electrical engineering and breadth of knowledge of all things patent law, enhances our position as a go-to firm for complex intellectual property matters spanning multiple jurisdictions.”
Adams and Reese’s Global Intellectual Property team represents businesses throughout North America, South America, Europe and Asia, counseling clients on trademark, patent, and copyright protection, portfolio management and monetization, and litigation across a wide array of industries and on an international scale.
Gregory will practice out of the firm’s Houston office. Most recently, he ran his own IP boutique law firm IPR Law Group, representing IP and patent law clients based in Austin, Houston and Silicon Valley. In addition to running IPR Law Group, Gregory practiced at Wilson, Sonsini, and Perkins Coie.
Sawrie, whose career includes having practiced at the Am Law 50 firm of Perkins Coie LLP in Silicon Valley, will split time between Adams and Reese’s Nashville and Mobile offices.
