I am pleased to announce that as of today Luce Forward has combined with McKenna Long & Aldridge (McKenna).  

McKenna is an international law firm, and with the merger, has 575 attorneys and public policy advisors in 13 offices and 11 markets.

The firm has a dynamic and talented Intellectual Property & Technology (IP) group with great depth in prosecution, litigation, and licensing and plenty of experience counseling clean tech clients.

Also, Luce Forward’s climate change lawyers will join forces with McKenna’s interdisciplinary Climate, Energy and Sustainability (CES) practice group.

The merger is particularly exciting for me as I will bridge the IP and CES groups and will be spearheading the Green IP initiative.  In this role, my charge is to expand upon a solid foundation of green IP experience and build a strong team focused on green IP issues and service. 

This space will continue to bring you the latest green IP news, and you are likely to see some new contributors from McKenna along the way.

More information on the merger can be found in the press release here.
