Today, STL’s favorite law firm landed a big catch — Sean O’Connor of the University of Washington School of Law. He joins the firm of counsel.
Mr. O’Connor brings a lot of experience to the firm — he teaches intellectual property and securities law, and is the founding director of UWSL’s Entrepreneurial Law Clinic, which matches deserving startups with lawyers, law students, and business students. Before academia, he worked at Weil Gotshal in New York, and Hale and Dorr in Boston.
When not teaching, writing, and lecturing, he will advise clients in issues involving intellectual property, biotechnology, corporate issues, and securities law.
Mr. O’Connor got his law degree from Stanford, his M.A. in philosophy from Arizona State University, and his B.A. in history from the University of Massachusetts - Boston.
This is a neat hire, which will make our already energetic and bustling business department even more vigorous.
