McDermott Will & Schulte

McDermott Will & Schulte‘s team is well-placed to assist its sector-spanning portfolio of clients with an array of complex work. Co-practice head William Gaede splits his time between Silicon Valley and San Francisco, while fellow co-head and ’trusted advisor’ Ahsan Shaikh—based between Silicon Valley and Chicago—is experienced in computer tech-related patent portfolio establishment, management, and related strategizing. Also in Silicon Valley, Judy Mohr is equipped to assist clients with the protection of their patents, develop global IP strategies, and assist in the procurement of foreign patents. On the East Coast, Boston’s Charles Larsen is a key attorney with capabilities covering patent strategy, transactions, and disputes in both domestic and cross-jurisdictional contexts. Edward Gordon left the team in February 2024.
