Baker & Hostetler has hired intellectual property litigators Ed Poplawski and Olivia Kim in a move that it said solidifies its full-service IP practice on the West Coast—and nationally.

Poplawski and Kim, partners at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, joined the firm in Los Angeles. They arrive on the heels of a 20-person IP prosecution team led by former Morgan, Lewis & Bockius partners Mark Itri and Mike Dreznes in Southern California last March.
