A group of Pittsburgh lawyers from West Virginia-based midsize firm Jackson Kelly has made a move to Frost Brown Todd, where firm leaders expect them to tap into the local market’s well of real estate ventures and tech startups.

Transactional lawyer Jason Ott, who led Jackson Kelly’s tech and data practice groups until his departure at the beginning of November, joined Frost Brown Todd as a member, along with IP lawyer Curtis Wadsworth, who joined as counsel to help clients navigate IP strategies. Wadsworth is also the founder and CEO of DorothyAI, a patent search platform that uses artificial intelligence to perform specific searches that are important for patent lawyers and their clients.
