After three decades at the London office of Bird & Bird, Trevor Cook, a well known patent lawyer in Europe, is relocating to New York and joining Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr. Cook expects to begin working at Wilmer in early 2014.

At Wilmer, Cook will continue doing what has made him a star in London: formulating worldwide patent strategies for clients, particularly those in the life sciences, and representing companies in high-stakes patent lawsuits and arbitrations.
