Kirkland & Ellis LLP
Mike De Vries is among a handful of go-to patent/IP trial lawyers who handle the most complex, high-stakes matters – many of which go to trial – for multi-national companies like Motorola Solutions, Cisco, Intel and Oracle. Described as “thorough and focused on ensuring decisions are made that support the long-term view of a case,” he is known for his trial skills (particularly before juries), creative litigation strategies and superior work ethic. De Vries has particularly represented plaintiffs in some of the largest IP competitor cases in high-tech in recent years, as well as high-profile patent and trade secret litigation involving technology companies, where cases are often litigated on multiple fronts simultaneously in and outside of the United States. His recent victories on behalf of clients Motorola Solutions and EagleView Technologies also earned recognition in the “Litigator of the Week” feature by American Lawyer.
