Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe

Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe’s appellate group is among the largest in the country, focusing on high-stakes tech and energy litigation. The firm handles a significant volume of IP disputes, with New York-based practice head Joshua Rosenkranz leading the appeal of an $800m trade secrets verdict for Phillips 66. Rosenkranz is also representing Cox Communications in a $1bn copyright battle before the US Supreme Court that carries generational implications for internet provider liability. In Washington DC, Mel Bostwick specializes in patent and veterans appeals, notably representing Netflix in a high-profile patent fight against Broadcom and acting for Micron in a $445m patent dispute. Bostwick is also representing veterans before the US Supreme Court in a challenge to government standards for denying benefits. Robert Loeb is trusted by tech, energy, and life sciences clients with multi-billion dollar regulatory and product liability appeals across both federal and state courts. Eric Shumsky represented a coalition including Google and Meta in a victory linked to the Buffalo supermarket shooting. Also in Washington DC, Abigail Colella and Jeremy Peterman are both adept at translating complex technological and administrative law concepts in IP appeals. The New York team was strengthened in July 2025 by the arrival of Anisha Dasgupta, former General Counsel of the Federal Trade Commission.
