Joshua Simmons is a 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, and he has won cases involving every kind of intellectual property and related commercial disputes. He also provides IP counseling; strategic portfolio management; as well as regulatory and legislative policy advice. His 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, immersive technology, Internet-based systems, pharmaceuticals and 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," “diligent,” “responsive,” and “very, very available.” 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” and “pragmatic 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.”
