AUSTIN, TX, July 2, 2024 - Winstead PC, a leading Texas-based law firm serving clients across the country, announced that Nadia Haghighatian has joined the firm's Business Litigation Practice Group as a Shareholder.
"Nadia is an outstanding IP litigator and trial lawyer, and we are thrilled to have her join our growing team. This is our fourth significant addition to the Intellectual Property Litigation Practice Group in the last twelve months, which includes two Shareholders in our Austin office. Coupled with the significant trial wins we have achieved for our clients, including one of the top 100 trial verdicts in 2023, it really speaks to our momentum," said James Ruiz, Shareholder and Chair of the Litigation & Dispute Department at Winstead.
"I’m thrilled to join Winstead’s team of talented and upstanding IP litigation attorneys, many of whom I have known for years and are already close friends of mine. The group not only has a proven track record of delivering impressive trial wins but also has a strategic vision to build on that success by expanding its reach in Austin. I look forward to contributing to their continued growth and provision of excellent client service," said Nadia Haghighatian.
In addition to over a decade of experience litigating IP disputes, Nadia has an electrical engineering background, which she leverages to represent clients in complex patent litigation matters across a wide variety of technology areas, such as software, telecommunications, electrical, mechanical, and semiconductor technologies. Nadia has also worked with clients in patent and trade secret cases in the energy sector, and is well-versed in trademark infringement litigation.
Beyond her IP work, Nadia values serving people in need through pro bono, having litigated high-stakes asylum and prisoner’s rights cases that have profoundly impacted the lives of her clients and reflect her personal commitment to increasing access to justice.
