Career
Many of the world’s leading technology and life sciences companies call on Michael Jacobs to lead trial teams in their most complex litigation. He served as co-lead counsel in two of the most-watched intellectual property battles of recent memory, including a high-profile smartphone case leading to a jury verdict of over $1 billion. He defended Uber against Waymo’s autonomous vehicle trade secret claims. And the life sciences industry’s first and most successful biotechnology company looks to Michael when patent and licensing disputes arise. Michael co-founded and served as co-chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property Practice Group.
