Intellectual property litigator Mary Bourke has left Connolly Bove Lodge & Hutz to join the Wilmington, Del., office of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice and will bring four attorneys with her to the new firm. Delaware legal sources describe the departure as a tremendous gain for Womble Carlyle, noting Bourke’s success in intellectual property disputes.
Also joining Womble Carlyle from Connolly Bove are partner Kristen H. Cramer, partner Mark J. Pino, who joins the firm’s Washington, D.C., office, and associates Daniel M. Attaway and Dana K. Severance. All four attorneys will work with Bourke in the firm’s life sciences intellectual property department.
