Cozen O’Connor, an Am Law 100 firm on an expansion kick in 2018, is growing again in the Pacific Northwest by bringing on a pair of intellectual property partners in Seattle from the Seed IP Law Group.

The new hires, Frank Abramonte and Lorraine Linford, join Cozen O’Connor only a few months after the firm opened an office in nearby Vancouver. After nearly 18 years at Seed IP, a Seattle-based boutique, Abramonte said he was drawn by the opportunity to help Philadelphia-based Cozen O’Connor build out its IP practice on the West Coast.
