Faegre Drinker has strengthened its intellectual property practice with the hiring of Matthew McCullough as a partner in its San Francisco office, the firm announced on Monday.

McCullough specializes in intellectual property litigation, focusing on complex patent and trade secrets disputes that involve cutting-edge technologies. His expertise spans areas including artificial intelligence, cloud services and infrastructure, telecommunications, and network security.
