Alston & Bird Adds Three Partners to IP Litigation Group in New York and San Francisco
"Alston & Bird adds partners Michael Elkin, Sean Anderson and Jennifer Golinveaux to its IP Litigation Group to handle copyright, trademark, digital media, AI and technology-related disputes."
Michael Elkin is a sought-after trial lawyer who represents technology, media and entertainment companies in intellectual property litigation involving digital content distribution and novel technology-related claims. His practice spans trial and appellate work, with an emphasis on matters whose outcomes carry significant business risk. He joins Alston & Bird as a partner in the IP Litigation Group.
Jennifer Golinveaux is a highly regarded litigator focusing on digital media, copyright and trademark counseling and litigation, with a recent emphasis on high-stakes AI disputes. She advises companies across the technology, media, consumer goods and financial services sectors and maintains a significant brand-enforcement practice. She joins Alston & Bird as a partner in the San Francisco office.
Sean Anderson handles sophisticated intellectual property and commercial matters, including high-stakes disputes on behalf of technology and media companies involving platform liability, trade secrets and, increasingly, artificial intelligence. He also maintains a robust counseling practice advising both emerging and established companies on regulatory developments and cross-border issues. He joins Alston & Bird as a partner in the New York office.
Together, the additions expand the firm’s capacity to advise on disputes involving digital media, AI and emerging technologies. The group is positioned to litigate matters nationwide and before the Federal Circuit and the International Trade Commission, and has represented major media companies, internet service providers and technology platforms in precedent-setting cases involving secondary copyright liability, content distribution and platform-based claims.
