Norton Rose Fulbright sharpens IP disputes edge with Dallas partner addition
Trial-tested patent and trademark litigator Justin Cohen brings proven litigation skills and engineering know-how to the firm’s intellectual property practice
Dallas, TX, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright today announced that Justin Cohen has joined its intellectual property disputes team as a partner in the Dallas office, continuing the growth and diversification of the firm’s national IP disputes platform. With years of litigation experience and a background in electrical and computer engineering, Justin adds depth to the firm’s offering for technology-driven industries as IP litigation risks tied to rapid innovation continue to grow.
Coming from Holland & Knight, Justin represents clients in IP disputes involving software, telecommunications and semiconductor technologies, with first-chair trial experience in patent and trademark disputes before federal courts, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. He also regularly assists companies in protecting their brands from trademark infringement.
“Intellectual property stands as one of the firm’s three core pillars, and Justin’s arrival reflects our continued focus on offering market-leading capabilities in areas where businesses face their most significant challenges,” said Jeff Cody, Norton Rose Fulbright’s Global and US Managing Partner. “He enhances a team that continues to attract top talent and earn the trust of companies across industries and jurisdictions.”
Justin’s move comes during a period of strong momentum for the IP group, as a notable increase in client activity this year has been helped by the addition of lateral talent. In recent months, the firm has expanded its services across patent litigation, prosecution and counseling through the additions of Washington, DC partners Sanya Sukduang and Jon Davies as well as Minneapolis partner Stuart Nelson.
“Our investment in the IP team is translating into meaningful growth across the practice, and Justin fits directly within that strategy,” said Tim Kenny, Norton Rose Fulbright’s US Head of Intellectual Property. “He combines sophisticated IP litigation experience with an engineer’s understanding of the technologies at issue, making him particularly well-suited for the complex patent and trademark disputes our clients face today.”
Justin is recognized by Chambers USA in Texas: Intellectual Property and by the IAM Patent 1000, which cited his deep knowledge of patent law, clear client counsel and effective advocacy in depositions and hearings. He has also been honored by Super Lawyers, The Best Lawyers in America and D Magazine’s “Best Lawyers in Dallas.”
“Norton Rose Fulbright is quite unique because it offers clients an IP powerhouse that operates as part of a full-service global law firm, which creates tremendous opportunities to support my clients’ broader business objectives,” Justin said. “I’ve built my practice around strong, senior-level relationships, and what drew me here is the chance to keep growing those inside a genuinely collaborative team that handles the full spectrum of intellectual property issues.”
With more than 250 lawyers, patent attorneys and trademark agents across the globe, including more than 100 in the US, Norton Rose Fulbright’s intellectual property practice offers multidisciplinary support for clients navigating patent and trade secret litigation, trademarks and brand protection, patent prosecution and technology transactions matters. Demand for high-stakes IP disputes work is growing, and the strategy and disputes-focused team draws on deep experience across all major sectors to help clients achieve practical, business-focused outcomes for their challenging issues.
Licensed in Texas, Justin earned his law degree from Wayne State University Law School and his bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from Kettering University.
