A little more than a year after folding his Palo Alto, California-based intellectual property boutique into Squire Patton Boggs, partner Ronald Fernando has reconstituted his old shop with several current and former colleagues.
The move came quietly a few months before Squire Patton Boggs recently absorbed Singularity, a Redwood City, California-based IP boutique led by partners Frank Bernstein, Vidya Bhakar and Ronald Lemieux. Squire Patton Boggs, formed through a merger in 2014, has been busy expanding in California in recent years. The global legal giant acquired San Francisco-based Carroll, Burdick & McDonough, a 55-lawyer litigation firm, in 2016.
