Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe has hired intellectual property litigator L. Scott Oliver as a partner in the firm’s Silicon Valley office. Oliver, who represented a music publisher in the 2000 suit that led to Napster’s collapse, was most recently a partner at K&L Gates.
Oliver has also defended a handful of wireless networking companies, including Aruba Networks, Brocade Communications Systems Inc. and Meru Networks Inc. He also saw a previous lateral move go sideways in 2006 when he sought to join Morrison & Foerster as part of an IP team leaving Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy.
