WASHINGTON, July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Reichman Jorgensen Lehman &
Feldberg LLP (RJLF), an elite majority women-owned trial boutique,
has announced that trial attorneys David
King and Connor S. Houghton
have been promoted to partner, effective July 1, 2024, based in the firm's Washington, D.C. office.
"David's success in commercial litigation and Connor's track
record in IP speak volumes about what they bring to the table for
our team," shared Christine Lehman,
Managing Partner of RJLF's D.C. office. "These promotions really
emphasize how important it is for us to support and grow our
talent. We're excited about the outlook they'll bring to their
roles, benefiting our clients along the way."
David King is a trial
and appellate lawyer with a decade of complex commercial litigation
experience, ranging from consumer protection and bankruptcy
litigation to antitrust issues, trade secret disputes, breach of
contract, and white collar litigation. King's practice has included
substantive briefing in federal district and appellate courts and
his versatility spans the financial, manufacturing, technology, and
food and beverage sectors. Notably, he played a key role in
securing a full acquittal in a high-profile federal criminal and
antitrust trial by the Department of Justice, involving
price-fixing in the $28 billion
broiler chicken industry. Global Competition Review named
this win "Behavioural Matter of the Year 2023 (Americas)."
Before joining the firm, King was an attorney with the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau. He began his legal career as a law
clerk to Judge David S. Tatel on the
D.C. Circuit. He obtained his J.D. with Highest Honors from the
University of Chicago Law School and
graduated summa cum laude from the University of Dayton with a B.S. in Biochemistry.
Prior to attending law school, King was a Peace Corps volunteer in
Mozambique for two years.
Connor S. Houghton is
a skilled trial and intellectual property attorney with extensive
experience spanning diverse technologies. Houghton litigates across
federal district and appellate courts, the International Trade
Commission (ITC), and the United States Patent and Trademark
Office. Named a Top 100 Verdict of 2023 by Law.com's VerdictSearch,
he helped secure an $84 million
willful patent infringement verdict on behalf of Cirba, following a
five-day jury trial in the District of Delaware. After only two hours of
deliberation, the jurors found VMware willfully infringed Cirba's
patent that covers cutting-edge virtualization technology. Houghton
also secured a crucial patent victory for Corning Optical
Communications in the ITC, resulting in a General Exclusion Order
against infringing products, effectively barring them from the U.S.
for the patents' duration.
Houghton earned his J.D. with honors from Harvard Law School, and he graduated summa
cum laude from Northeastern
University with a B.S. in Chemistry.
