Robert Schulman, an Arent Fox patent prosecution and intellectual property litigation partner in Washington, D.C., has been convicted of insider trading in New York for passing on a tip related to a billion-dollar pharmaceutical merger announced in 2010.

Prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York announced late Wednesday that after a week-and-a-half trial in Brooklyn, a federal jury had returned a guilty verdict against Schulman on securities fraud and conspiracy charges leveled against the Big Law partner in August 2016.
