With profound sadness, we announce the loss of our beloved partner, Bruce Johnson. Bruce, who passed away on Tuesday, spent all of his nearly 50-year career at the firm, where his brilliance in media law, and his profound respect for legal ethics, was matched by his generosity in sharing everything he knew. He was recognized for decades as one of the country's foremost First Amendment lawyers, and recently authored a major treatise on media law, while consistently finding time to mentor and develop younger lawyers. Many of his former mentees are among the partners now leading our media practice. In addition to the profound impact he had on DWT and on the countless clients whose speech rights he championed in courts around the country, Bruce will be remembered for the unfailing kindness he displayed to everyone, for his commitment of time and energy to Seattle's theater and music community, and for his deep devotion to his family. As one DWT colleague remarked, "Bruce was singular." We’ll miss him greatly, but are immensely grateful for the many years we shared. To Bruce's wife, children and grandchildren, we extend our deepest condolences. We invite those with memories or appreciations of Bruce to share them in the comments.

We are excited to announce that Alexander Hadjis—a highly experienced, first-chair patent trial attorney and litigator—has joined DWT, expanding our firm's national leadership in technology litigation. Alex brings to the firm more than two decades of experience handling complex, high-stakes disputes before federal courts and the U.S. International Trade Commission. As lead counsel, he has tried more than a dozen large, high-exposure cases on behalf of market-leading technology companies. He’s also led and litigated many more, including before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, where he served as a Judicial Law Clerk. “Alex’s top-tier, tech-focused, patent litigation expertise significantly deepens the support we can provide our clients, who include many of the world’s leading technology companies,” said Alexandra Nicholson, national chair of the media, entertainment, patent, trademark, and advertising group at DWT. Alex joins DWT as a partner in our Washington, D.C., office.
