Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft has boosted its New York IP team with the hire of two partners from IP firm Morgan & Finnegan.

IP litigators Bartholomew Verdirame and Tony Pezzano have become the fourth and fifth partners to leave Morgan & Finnegan for Cadwalader in the last few months. Cadwalader launched its IP group in September with the hire of three Morgan & Finnegan partners in New York. The firm now has 25 lawyers in its IP group.

Verdirame said: “We see opportunities in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals and petrochemicals, as well as in patent litigation before the International Trade Commission.”

Verdirame is a patent litigator, specialising in pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and engineering patents. Pezzano also focuses on patent litigation, representing clients in International Trade Commission proceedings.

    How big does Cadwalader expect it's IP practice to become?

    Are the IP and bankruptcy acquisitions expected to replace the revenue lost from the securitization meltdown? Will Cadwalader give the new groups time to build up, or is performance expected "yesterday?"
