Mike Powell has opened a solo intellectual property practice, leaving Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz after 13 years to gain time for his family while helping clients simplify their intellectual property issues.

Powell said his focus at Powell IP Law is on mediation and advising, not litigation. “I help companies navigate their IP issues,” he said, adding that he has formed an of counsel relationship with Casey Gilson for litigation.
