Significant expansion over the last two years has bolstered the already high-performing intellectual property department at Pepper Hamilton.

Since 2011, the 28-member transactional team guided major acquisitions, navigating complex intellectual property issues for Malvern, Pa.-based Vicept Therapeutics' acquisition by Allergan Inc. of Irvine, Calif., and the acquisition of NOX Technologies, also a Malvern-based company, by a subsidiary of Nu Skin Enterprises in a $12.5 million deal.
