Bingham boosts life sciences practice

Patent counselling specialist Mark Hayman has joined Bingham McCutchen LLP’s Boston office as a partner.

Hayman joins the firm’s corporate practice group from Cooley LLP. His team focuses on patent counselling, procurement and licensing in the life sciences industry.

“With the continued growth of the life sciences industry, Mark’s arrival at Bingham underscores our commitment to providing clients with comprehensive leading services in this sector,” said Jack Concannon, co-leader of Bingham’s life sciences practice, who is also based in Boston.

Josh Dalton, co-managing partner of Bingham’s Boston office and a member of the IP group, added: “Mark and his team not only allow us to deepen our ties to the Boston-area life sciences community, but they also represent an expansion of our patent prosecution practice that will benefit our clients firmwide.”

Hayman said that the move was a “great opportunity” for his clients and team.

Bingham is a global law firm with offices in 14 cities around the world.
