Morgan, Lewis & Bockius has grown its intellectual property practice with new additions in Washington, D.C., marking the beginning of 2019 by extending a slow-motion transfer of IP talent from McDermott Will & Emery.

Hosang Lee joined as partner on Wednesday, while Daniel Bucca moved to the firm as of counsel last month. Hosang’s team includes three lawyers and multiple technical specialists, patent agents, and patent prosecution specialists, Morgan Lewis said.
