Will Orlady

Will Orlady represents biopharmaceutical, medical device, and technology companies in high-stakes intellectual property litigation.

Will draws on experience at every stage of litigation to advance or defend his client’s intellectual property claims. His practice covers disputes involving patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and intellectual property licensing and ownership (including related arbitration). Will has successfully represented both plaintiffs and defendants in disputes involving:

• Small molecule drugs
• Antibodies
• Vaccines
• Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)
• Medical devices and other technologies

He regularly leads teams in litigation matters in district courts nationwide, the International Trade Commission (ITC), and in arbitration. Having been a central team member at eight trials, Will’s practice routinely involves complex, multijurisdictional disputes with global implications for his clients.

Will’s dedicated and team-driven approach stems from his time as a Division I swimmer. Will has deep experience spanning all phases of litigation, including pre-suit diligence, fact and expert discovery, claim construction, dispositive motions, and post-trial briefing, as well as preparing for, defending, and taking important fact and expert depositions. 

In addition to his intellectual property practice, Will dedicates his time to pro bono matters and is a member of the PTAB Bar Association.
