The practice group at MoloLamken LLP is well-versed in handling cases before the Supreme Court and federal courts of appeals, with particular strength in appeals involving IP, energy, telecoms, sovereign immunity, and constitutional and administrative law. The practice is directed by Jeffrey Lamken, who is lauded by one client as an ‘especially adept oral advocate, uniquely composed and prepared for anything’. His recent cases of note have included representing Nobel Prize-winning scientists Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier before the Federal Circuit after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board declined to award them the patent for the CRISPR-Cas9 system for editing genes in eukaryotic cells. Also noted is appellate specialist Lucas Walker, who recently argued a significant trademark case on behalf of Abitron Austria before the Supreme Court. Appellate litigators Rayiner Hashem, Michael Pattillo, Robert Kry and Sara Margolis are additional key contacts. All lawyers mentioned are based in Washington, D.C., with the exception of Margolis, who is based in New York.
