Dallas patent and trademark litigation partner Justin Cohen has jumped to Norton Rose Fulbright, the firm announced in a news release.
Cohen practiced for the last 15-plus years at Thompson & Knight/Holland & Knight. He represents clients in IP disputes involving software, telecommunications and semiconductor technologies, and he brings first-chair trial experience before federal courts, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Jeff Cody, Norton Rose Fulbright’s global and U.S. managing partner, said IP is one of the firm’s three core pillars. The firm, which boasts more than 100 IP lawyers in the U.S. and 250-plus globally, has also added depth to the practice in recent months in Washington, D.C. and Minneapolis.
“Norton Rose Fulbright is quite unique because it offers clients an IP powerhouse that operates as part of a full-service global law firm, which creates tremendous opportunities to support my clients’ broader business objectives,” Cohen said in a statement. “I’ve built my practice around strong, senior-level relationships, and what drew me here is the chance to keep growing those.”
Cohen was recently featured in The Texas Lawbook for a pro bono success he led in an asylum case, where he and his team devoted close to 200 hours over two years to the representation.
According to Texas Lawbook 50 data, Cohen departs the seventh-largest firm by Texas headcount for the fourth largest; when looking at Texas revenues, he is going from the 10th highest-grossing firm to the third. Norton Rose Fulbright grew its Texas business by nearly 30 percent to $572.2 million from 2024 to 2025.
