Reichman Jorgensen, a bicoastal boutique firm started in October by a group of former McKool Smith litigators, has expanded into Washington, D.C., hiring seasoned patent trial lawyer Christine Lehman as the new office’s managing partner.

Lehman comes to Reichman Jorgensen after 20 years at Finnegan, Henderson, Farrabow, Garrett & Dunner, where she led that firm’s International Trade Commission litigation group and chaired its pro bono committee. She’s an experienced patent litigator with a specialty in cases at the ITC, where she served as an investigative attorney early in her career.
