McDermott Will & Schulte strengthens IP litigation with first-chair trial lawyer Mark Baghdassarian
"McDermott Will & Schulte has added first-chair trial lawyer Mark Baghdassarian to its Global Intellectual Property Practice in New York to strengthen its IP litigation capabilities."
Baghdassarian is a first-chair trial lawyer with a demonstrated record in high-tech intellectual property litigation. He focuses on IP litigation and represents clients across sectors including satellite communications, semiconductor processing, connected vehicle technology and life sciences, handling matters through all phases from pre-suit counseling through trial and appeal. His track record includes securing dismissals, favorable claim construction rulings and appellate wins, and he is noted for translating complex technical subject matter into clear, persuasive arguments.
Doug Carsten, Co‑Head of McDermott’s Global Intellectual Property Practice, said Baghdassarian brings first-chair trial capability and technical depth that the firm’s technology and life sciences clients demand. Beyond active litigation, Baghdassarian advises clients on managing intellectual property risk and aligning litigation strategy with broader business objectives, and counsels on emerging issues at the intersection of litigation and innovation, including data privacy and artificial intelligence.
