On September 1 McDermott Will & Emery was profiled in The National Law Journal in an article titled, "McDermott's IP litigation team tallies jury trial wins." The article highlights McDermott's intellectual property litigation team including, Sarah Columbia, Joel Freed, Terry McMahon and Fay Morisseau, "rack[ing] up five mainly favorable jury trial verdicts in the course of five months in five different federal districts." The article notes, "...[I]t's an unusual string of results in an era when most cases don't even go to trial. The trials took place in federal courts in California, Delaware, Massachusetts, Texas and Wisconsin." Mr. Morisseau commented, "What we do better than anyone else in the country is we work across offices to pull the people with the skills needed and we are not hesitant to take a case to trial."
