Brett Schuman has joined Goodwin Procter as a partner in its IP litigation group in San Francisco

He joins from Morgan Lewis & Bockius, where he led that firm’s litigation practice in its San Francisco and Palo Alto offices and was deputy leader of its IP practice.

Schuman focuses his practice on patent cases on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants across the technology industry.

He serves as lead partner and lead trial counsel in patent infringement litigation matters involving mobile phone technology, broadband communications technology, semiconductor fabrication and circuitry, wearables and pharmaceuticals. He has also served as lead counsel in several litigations involving patent licence agreements.
