For nearly three decades, Alex has been litigating IP cases, including 20 years as a litigation Partner at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. A nationally recognized trial lawyer, he has represented Fortune 100 companies such as AT&T, Nintendo, LG, Samsung, DISH Network, and NEC, mid-cap companies such as Nitto Denko and HTC, along with many startups and early-stage companies. Alex has handled disputes involving varied and cutting-edge technologies, including microprocessors, mobile devices, communications, SaaS, apps, gaming hardware, networking, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural technology. Alex has litigated over 100 patent lawsuits, as well as dozens of trade secret, trademark and copyright cases — appearing in every major forum in the United States, as well as numerous international fora.

Winning, for Alex, does not mean simply throwing resources at a problem. Instead, Alex’s approach is to pinpoint the dispositive issues or strategies that will result in the most efficient and cost-effective path to the client’s goals. Winning can involve cutting to the core of an adversary’s case by filing targeted dispositive motions, taking selective discovery that lays bare the defects of the adversary’s case, devising settlements that obviate the need for continued litigation, or ultimately prevailing at trial. 

Clients appreciate the fact that Alex combines the savvy of a veteran litigator with the scientific background of an engineer, an uncommon combination. No tangle of technical and legal issues is too complex for Alex—in fact, the more complex the better! Alex works seamlessly with his clients’ inside and outside experts to immerse himself in the relevant technologies as well as the client’s business and strategic priorities. 

Alex often manages complex disputes single-handedly — disputes that would ordinarily be staffed by an entire team of partners, associates, and paralegals — resulting in significant cost savings for his clients. Alex also maintains working relationships with other firms that allow him to scale up or down, as the needs of the matter may dictate.
