Paul Hastings LLP has established a strong foothold in the Federal Circuit for intellectual property appeals, while also maintaining strength in life sciences and employment law cases. Following a significant influx of partners in late 2024, the practice is now chaired by Ben Snyder, a former Assistant to the Solicitor General of the United States who has argued a number of cases before the Supreme Court of the United States.
