Akerman Expands National Litigation Practice Group in Denver with Adam Massaro
Akerman LLP, a top 100 U.S. law firm, has expanded the national footprint of its Litigation Practice Group with the addition of Adam Massaro in Denver. Joining from Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie, Massaro brings with him valuable first-chair trial experience in complex business litigation and provides important business counsel to clients internationally.
Massaro practices in the areas of intellectual property and corporate litigation often involving complex, multi-million dollar high stakes matters. He represents clients in the cannabis industry in both state and federal court, including obtaining a complete defense win at trial for a client, obtaining injunctive relief for a plant-touching entity, and enforcing Cannabis intellectual property rights. He works with clients on intellectual property matters in a broad range of areas, including software, internet-based technologies, industrial equipment, and sporting goods. He has litigated intellectual property and high technology cases in Colorado, California, Nevada, and Arizona federal district court. Massaro also has represented international clients ranging from South Korea to India on matters such as trade secret, trademark, patent, and corporate litigation.
The expansion of Akerman’s Litigation Practice Group in Denver is part of a national growth strategy to further serve clients’ business needs. The team also recently expanded in Houston, with litigation partners Joel Mohrman and Andy Cao who have experience in intellectual property litigation, class actions, and complex commercial litigation; and litigation partner William Sentell who focuses his practice on franchise dispute resolution and related corporate, regulatory, and compliance matters.
