DibbsBarker has made two lateral hires to its IP and private equity practices.
Melissa McGrath returns to the firm after a stint with Ashurst.  She is an IP litigator with a particular expertise in pharmaceutical patent litigation, having acted for both generic and originator companies on various patent-related disputes. She also has expertise in the both the registration and enforcement of trademarks.

Jamie Palmer is a private equity specialist who was previously at Allen & Overy. He said that he was attracted to DibbsBarker because of its footprint in the mid-market PE space. “The firm is an excellent place for me to focus on servicing clients involved in these types of deals as well as private M&A transactions more broadly,” he said.
