Paul Hastings has hired a six-partner tech-focused IP litigation team from Allen & Overy based in Palo Alto, New York, and Washington, D.C., as the firm continues to expand its tech offerings in Northern California, the firm said Monday.

The team, which focuses on patent litigation and matters before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, International Trade Commission, and other IP-specific venues, includes Shamita Etienne-Cummings, Lisa Nguyen, Eric Lancaster, James Gagen and Grace Wang.
