Fish & Richardson Principal Juanita Brooks Named a Top Woman Lawyer in California

Brooks was selected, in part, for convincing a San Jose district court judge to overturn a $200 million verdict for client Gilead Sciences Inc. in June 2016. Based upon Brooks and her team's persuasive arguments, the judge determined that Merck was "guilty of unclean hands" and subsequently forfeited its rights to assert patent claims against Gilead in Gilead Sciences Inc. v. Merck & Co. Inc.

Brooks is one of the U.S.'s leading trial and appellate litigators, proven by her winning record in complex, high-stakes lawsuits. She is consistently selected for national and local industry honors, thanks to her well-known litigation success and her commitment to the community.
