Andrew Radsch is an experienced trial lawyer in Ropes & Gray’s intellectual property litigation group, where he represents clients in business-critical patent and trade secret disputes in federal courts around the country and at the ITC. Andrew, who has represented plaintiffs and defendants in equal measure, has litigated cases across a wide range of industries and technologies, including computer software and hardware, consumer electronics, wireless communications, semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer care products. In addition, Andrew regularly advises clients on offensive and defensive IP strategies.
Andrew has experience at all stages of litigation, from pre-suit investigation and licensing negotiations, through trial, where he has cross-examined both fact and expert witnesses. In addition to his first chair trial experience, Andrew has devised winning strategies and arguments that have resulted in early favorable resolution for his clients. He has substantial experience crafting winning briefs and arguing dispositive and non-dispositive motions.
In addition, Andrew represents clients in hotly contested Section 1782 proceedings for obtaining discovery in aid of foreign patent litigations.
Andrew maintains an active pro bono practice, where, for example, he represents victims of domestic violence in obtaining restraining, child custody, and financial support orders. Among his proudest achievements is obtaining asylum for a refugee of extreme political violence in Chad, who has since graduated university and started a family, and now is living the American dream.
During law school, Andrew was an extern for the Honorable Deborah A. Batts at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
