Partners Amy Ragen and Kevin Swan currently lead the virtual technology transactions boutique and will move to Shook effective June 1, 2021, along with the firm’s other attorneys and its paralegals. The highly sought-after skill set they provide to technology companies will complement Shook’s established IP team who serve the same industry with high-stakes litigation and IP counseling and prosecution. Ragen will chair a new Technology Transactions Practice Group for Shook.

“This is a win-win for our clients and both firms.

“We are thrilled to have Amy, Kevin and their team join Shook,” said Shook Seattle Managing Partner Bart Eppenauer, who previously served as chief patent counsel at Microsoft. “As a full-service law firm well-known for serving companies in the health, science and technology industries, Shook can now take advantage of Ragen Swan’s stellar reputation and deep expertise in technology and IP transactions to broaden Shook’s portfolio of services to the benefit of our clients.
