Amid rapid growth in New York City’s technology market, New Jersey-based intellectual property boutique Scarinci Hollenbeck announced Wednesday an expansion of its offerings through its combination with three-lawyer shop W.R. Samuels Law.

The New York-based boutique was founded in 2010 by William “Bill” Samuels, who joins Scarinci Hollenbeck as chair of its copyright and trademark law group. The merger, effective as of Oct. 1, also sees W.R. Samuels associates John Laurence and Iva Rukelj, as well as its paralegal Kathleen Gorman join Scarinci Hollenbeck’s office in Times Square, one that opened in 2015.
