Together they possess a wealth of expertise across disciplines and sectors.”

Jake Holdreith is the managing partner of the firm’s Minneapolis office, a member of the Executive Board, and the leader of the Life Sciences Group.

Cyrus Morton chairs the firm’s Patent Office Trials Group. He has counseled clients ranging from small companies and solo inventors to large corporate clients on all aspects of IP-related litigation for more than 25 years. He made history as the first – and still only – attorney to handle all four types of post-grant proceedings under the America Invents Act, cementing his leadership in PTAB practice.

Ronald Schutz is a member of the firm’s Executive Board and immediate past Chairman. A Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, he is widely regarded as one of the nation's top trial attorneys.
