Dallas-based, technology-focused firm Munck Wilson Mandala has expanded its intellectual property lineup with two trademark lawyers, including new principal attorney Sergei Orel, who will ultimately join partner Amanda Greenspon in opening an office in Miami next year.

Miami is a strategic location for Munck Wilson not only because of the trademark work that Greenspon and Sergei Orel do there, but also because international trade in South Florida is robust, managing partner William Munck said. The firm had planned to open the new office this year, but delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
