Dr. Upshaw has experience in a wide range of complex
commercial litigation in state, federal, administrative, and
international courts, including intellectual property, antitrust,
business tort, securities, and license litigation. He has
successfully handled everything from sole responsibility for
cases from first filing through final appeal, to cooperatively
planning and managing massive multinational bet-the-company
conflicts involving dozens of simultaneous litigation, arbitration,
and administrative matters handled by multiple law firms and
vendors.
Before opening his innovative law office, Dr. Upshaw was Senior
Litigation Counsel at Nokia, where in addition to managing
litigation, his responsibilities included developing electronic
discovery and other litigation policies, procedures, and platforms;
advising on licensing and other transactions; budgeting; and
managing outside counsel. As a member of Jones Day's award-
winning litigation group, Dr. Upshaw handled numerous cases on
his own as part of an industry-leading training and apprenticeship
program, in addition to working cooperatively as a part of large
litigation teams on major cases.
Before attending law school, Dr. Upshaw spent six years as an
assistant professor at Austin College where he taught courses in
statistics, applied microeconomics, and the economics of
regulation. As a professor, he was recognized as an expert in
several cases where he offered testimony on damages.
