Womble Bond Dickinson, formed late last year via the combination between Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice and the U.K.’s Bond Dickinson, has moved into a new office in Silicon Valley to house the lawyers it picked up after bolting on California-based intellectual property boutique Blakely Sokoloff Taylor Zafman.

Since clinching the Blakely Sokoloff deal in January, Womble Bond Dickinson has added more than 20 experienced IP lawyers and patent agents throughout California in Costa Mesa, Los Angeles and Sunnyvale.
