• Ronald Schutz is Chair of the firm’s Executive Board. He is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and has been recognized by many legal organizations and publications as one of the top lawyers in the country, including The National Law Journal, which named him one of the “Top 10 Winning Litigators in the United States.” He has won a nine-figure and multiple eight-figure jury verdicts, and has secured trial victories against behemoths such as Apple, General Electric, Clear Channel, Sony, and Canon. 
• Christopher Larus is the Chair of the firm’s National IP and Technology Litigation Group.

He has extensive experience planning and implementing licensing campaigns involving a broad range of intellectual property assets and technologies.
• Cyrus Morton is the Chair of the firm’s Patent Office Trial Group, which focuses on the procedures for addressing patent validity at the Patent Office under the America Invents Act.
