The new hires bring a wealth of experience across various sectors, particularly in the high-growth areas of mechanical engineering and medical devices patent prosecution.

  • Di Bianca and Riviello: These long-time colleagues arrive at Polsinelli with a proven track record of success. Their combined expertise focuses on intellectual property strategy and protection, with a particular emphasis on the medical device and high-technology industries. Their addition strengthens Polsinelli’s ability to serve clients in the crucial New York market, a hub for innovation and technology development.
