Holland & Knight nabs life sciences litigator

Holland & Knight LLP has expanded its IP practice group with the hire of patent litigator Howard Suh as partner.

Suh (pictured), who will join the New York office, specialises in litigation for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. He joins from Kirkland & Ellis LLP, where he was also a partner.

Josh Krumholz, practice group leader of the IP group at Holland & Knight, said the firm was “very pleased” that Suh has joined the team.

“He brings a wealth of knowledge about the pharmaceutical industry, with more than 15 years as a patent litigator," Krumholz added.

Suh has worked on cases in biologics, pharmaceuticals and transgenic agricultural products, and has experience before both the US Federal Circuit and Supreme Court.
