`standpoint . . . . considered among the very best in the life sciences patent litigation
`space"
`"Spectacular . . . [Lisa] demonstrates a lot of powerful qualities as a patent litigator" –
`IAM Patent 1000
`Lisa M. Ferri is global co-chair of the firm's Intellectual Property practice and the Life Sciences group. She serves
`as lead trial and appellate counsel on behalf of high-profile companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology
`and medical device industries. Lisa is a seasoned and versatile litigator having tried high-stakes cases in federal
`courts across the country and the International Trade Commission, argued before the Patent Trial and Appeal
`Board (PTAB), and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. She has significant expertise guiding companies
`through patent challenges under the Hatch-Waxman Act and Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act
`(BPCIA).
`Lisa also advises companies and investors in the life sciences industry in transactions involving intellectual
`property including mergers and acquisitions, collaborations, joint ventures and other strategic commercial
`arrangements. She combines a litigator's perspective with intellectual property expertise to evaluate and
`identify both risks and opportunities for clients. For instance, Lisa recently provided intellectual property
`counsel to Bristol-Myers Squibb in its $74 billion acquisition of Celgene.
`Clients and peers alike recognize Lisa as a leading intellectual property lawyer. Lisa is a Chambers ranked patent
`lawyer. Chambers USA 2020 states that she is “regularly called upon to handle complex patent disputes” and
`describes Lisa as an “excellent lawyer” with a “strong life sciences practice.” Managing Intellectual Property has
`chosen Lisa as one of the "Top 250 Women in IP" every year since the list's inception in 2013. Who's Who Legal:
`Patents 2016-2020 named Lisa as a leading patent litigation lawyer. IAM Patent 1000 has consistently ranked
`Lisa as a Silver Band leading practitioner. The Legal Media Group named her a "Life Sciences Star" and an "IP

`of the applicable law." LMG Life Sciences Awards considered Lisa a finalist in 2019 for "Patent Strategist of the
`Year," in 2018 for "New York General Patent Litigator of the Year" and in 2014 for "Hatch-Waxman Litigator of
`the Year." In addition, she has been recognized in the area of patent litigation by the Legal 500. LMG Life
`Sciences Awards shortlisted Lisa's victory at the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Biogen IDEC, Inc. and
`Genentech v. GlaxoSmithKline, a case involving the monoclonal antibody therapy Arzerra® for "Patent Impact
`Case of the Year."
