Mintz Levin adds three in Boston

Law firm Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo PC has added three partners to its IP team.

William Geary, Lisa Adams and Christina Sperry have joined the firm’s Boston office.

Formerly partners at Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP, they bring experience in medical technology, healthcare and life sciences.

Geary prepares and prosecutes patent applications, with an emphasis in the fields of medical devices, polymers and advanced materials and chemicals.

Adams handles patentability evaluations as well as preparation and prosecution of patent applications while Sperry focuses on domestic and international patent preparation and prosecution, as well as infringement, validity and right-to-use opinions.

The trio have represented clients including Johnson & Johnson and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Robert Bodian, managing partner at the firm said the need for “sophisticated IP capabilities” had never been greater, as companies in medical technology and life sciences sectors, continue to develop innovations and seek access to the public markets.

“The additions of Bill, Lisa and Christina build on Mintz Levin’s long-established strengths in these areas and further enhance our ability to serve clients with a range of complex needs,” Bodian added.

Mintz Levin has offices across the US as well as London and Israel.
