Lathrop GPM Expands Global IP Reach Through HG Law Merger

The integration brings 27 attorneys and 23 patent agents into the Lathrop GPM fold, pushing the firm’s total attorney headcount to approximately 370. With combined revenues projected at $300 million, the deal positions Lathrop GPM as a dominant force among Am Law 200 firms for intellectual property services ranging from trademark litigation to complex technology transactions.

Managing Partner Cameron Garrison characterized the acquisition as a transformative step for the firm’s engineering-driven practices. HG Law’s team brings technical expertise in software, electrical, and mechanical engineering, which will now support clients in sectors such as fintech, telecommunications, and semiconductor manufacturing. Gregory Lundell, a managing committee member at HG Law, noted that the move provides his team with the broader platform necessary to handle high-value intellectual property matters.

Beyond the expansion of technical legal services, the merger serves as a geographic bridge for Lathrop GPM. By establishing a formal presence in New York, the firm connects its existing East Coast operations in Boston and Washington, D.C. The addition of a London office marks the firm's entry into the European intellectual property market, providing clients with international reach for cross-border patent and copyright concerns.
