Joshua Simmons

Practice Areas

Joshua Simmons is a well-established and nationally recognized appellate and trial court litigator, who has been lauded in prior Chambers guides as an “exceptional,” “forceful,” and “creative” “brainiac”. Due to his “notable expertise” with “entertainment and technology sector clients,” he is sought after for complex cases and those of first impression; IP counseling; strategic portfolio management; as well as regulatory and legislative policy advice. He also has won numerous copyright, patent, right of publicity, trademark, trade secret, and unfair competition litigations, as well as contract, licensing, and domain name disputes. Those eye-catching litigations involve a range of media (film, news, publishing, social media, sports, television, theatre, and video games) and technologies (artificial intelligence, computer software and services, circuitry and semiconductors, Internet-based systems, medical devices, and telecommunications).

In prior years, clients have comments to Chambers that Josh “is completely on top of cases at all times,” “knows exactly what is happening,” and “has a 360 degree view of the entire litigation” with case theories "thought out in so many angles." They called him "impeccable." Clients also noted that he is “incredibly smart, super informed, and creative in his approach,” with an "encyclopedic knowledge" and "amazing writing skills." They found him “very practical” with “business-savvy advice" that "always keeps the client's goals in mind" and makes them "feel confident." And they wrote that he is “wonderful,” "even and steady," and a "terrific team player” who is “delightful to work with.”
