“I am honored to be joining a dynamic and expanding team that is taking on the most influential copyright matters arising across the digital media landscape,” said Stillman. “Latham provides the global resources and multidisciplinary muscle that will help me further grow my practice.

After graduating from law school, Stillman clerked for Judge Richard R. Clifton on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
