NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP announced today that Peter J. Armenio has joined the firm as partner in the litigation group in New York, strengthening its Life Sciences Patent Litigation and Intellectual Property Litigation practices.

Mr. Armenio will serve as Co-Chair of Cahill's Life Sciences Patent Litigation practice and Co-Chair of its Intellectual Property Litigation practice. His practice focuses on patent litigation and he provides counsel on matters regarding pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and DNA diagnostic and sequencing technologies. He also represents clients in a wide range of other patent and related commercial matters in courts across the country and in national and international arbitrations. He has represented clients from three continents – North America, Europe, and Asia – ranging from the Fortune 100 to start-ups.

"We have committed ourselves as a firm to attracting the industry's leading practitioners in select, key areas," said Herb Washer, Chair of Cahill's Executive Committee.

Flattmann, Jr., Co-Chair of Cahill's Life Sciences Patent Litigation practice group and Co-Chair of the firm's Intellectual Property Litigation group.
