—New partner augments firm's growing national capabilities in toxic torts, products liability, and intellectual property litigation—
BOSTON, August 27, 2007: Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP is pleased to announce that Todd Shepherd Holbrook has joined the firm as a partner in its Litigation Practice, resident in the Boston office. Admitted to practice in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, Mr. Holbrook is well-respected for his efforts on behalf of Fortune 500 companies, such as Owens-Illinois and Honeywell International, in the areas of toxic torts, products liability, and intellectual property litigation.
"Todd's stature, experience, and New England ties add to the national reach of a team that is already unique for its size, depth of bench strength, and range of industry expertise," said James D. Pagliaro, head of Morgan Lewis's Litigation Practice. "We are delighted to have Todd join us in Boston, where he will help us forge new client relationships and expand on existing ones."
In the 2007 edition of Chambers USA, Mr. Holbrook was named as one of the leading U.S. lawyers for commercial litigation, based on the views of clients, peers, and other industry professionals. Chambers notes that Mr. Holbrook is "energetic and responsive and takes an active role in cases."
Morgan Lewis's Litigation Practice consists of a 700-litigator contingent across 18 offices whose creativity, sophistication, and cross-practice capabilities have resulted in a mounting number of calls from Fortune 100 firms. Mr. Holbrook's practice will focus on providing litigation services nationally to a range of businesses and individuals in patent, trademark, trade dress, trade secret, copyright, toxic tort, and general contract litigation. Specifically, he will manage the firm's efforts on behalf of Tyco and serve as an experienced, trial-ready litigator in the New England area.
Prior to joining Morgan Lewis, Mr. Holbrook was a partner of a Northern New England law firm, having previously served as a law clerk to Chief Justice Daniel E. Wathen of the Maine Supreme Court. He is a past co-chair of the Trademark Litigation Subcommittee of the American Bar Association's Litigation Section and is co-editor of the forthcoming ABA Model Jury Instructions Manual for Copyright, Trademark and Trade Dress Cases.
