Hunton & Williams has snagged two intellectual property partners, Robert H.G. Lockwood and Eric J. Hanson, from Smith, Gambrell & Russell as part of a push to expand its Atlanta intellectual property team.

Meanwhile, Smith Gambrell has recruited patent prosecutors Laurence P. Colton as a partner and Nigamnarayan Acharya as an associate from Powell Goldstein, which boosts Smith Gambrell’s IP contingent to 25.
