(Aug. 14) – Haynes and Boone is raising their national profile in Palo Alto and Chicago by adding the lawyers of intellectual property boutique Mavrakakis Law Group (MLG). One of the new partners in Palo Alto is the former director of patent strategy at Apple, Inc.

The move grows the Dallas-based firm’s Silicon Valley office by 25 percent and launches an office in Chicago.
