Milwaukee-based Foley & Lardner is beefing up its IP and electronics practice groups in Washington, D.C., and Dallas, adding a four-lawyer team from Dentons.

Partner Eric Sophir, former co-chair of Denton’s IP group, will join Foley’s IP and electronics practice groups along with partner Gary Solomon, senior counsel Matthew Horton and associate Kamyar Maserrat. All but Solomon, who is based in Dallas, will work out of the firm’s D.C. office.
