Bradley Arant Rose & White LLP Adds Three Lawyers To Huntsville Office
Huntsville, AL - Bradley Arant Rose & White LLP is pleased to announce that it has added three lawyers to the firm’s Huntsville office. Frank M. Caprio and Stephen H. Hall have joined as partners, and Mark Swanson joins as an associate, to the firm’s Intellectual Property Practice Group. Along with Wendy Babcock, IP Specialist, they are joining Bradley Arant from Lanier Ford Shaver and Payne P.C.

"We are extremely excited to have Frank Caprio, Stephen Hall and Mark Swanson join our Huntsville office," said Beau Grenier, Chairman of Bradley Arant’s Executive Committee. “These great lawyers enhance our existing strengths and bring along new capabilities. For our clients – many of whom are fast-growing regional businesses with national and international interests – the benefits will be palpable.”

Bradley Arant has the largest team of patent attorneys in Alabama and Mississippi, and one of the largest teams in the Southeast, with attorneys experienced in virtually all technology disciplines. The firm is especially strong in intellectual property litigation, having tried many of the leading cases in Alabama, and is equally strong in licensing technology and trademarks - both in the United States and in foreign countries - in addition to its patent and trademark prosecution work. They are currently monitoring many hundreds of clients' intellectual properties on a worldwide basis.

Mr. Caprio worked in industry as a Weapon Systems Engineer on missile programs, warhead testing programs, and six-degree of freedom simulations.
