Duane Morris continues to expand its West Coast footprint, adding a pair of intellectual property partners from Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie.

Terry Ahearn and Stuart Bartow, who most recently served as co-managing partners of Lewis Roca’s Menlo Park office, joined Duane Morris’ Palo Alto office as partners April 15.

“We were attracted to Duane Morris’ strong IP practice,” Ahearn said. He added that he and Bartow had gotten to know Duane Morris’ lawyers through their prior cases and connections and were attracted to the 660-lawyer firm’s global platform.
