DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, P.C. (Munsch Hardt) is pleased to announce the addition of Jamil N. Alibhai, a well-respected complex litigation and intellectual property attorney. Alibhai joins Munsch Hardt from Munck Wilson Mandala, LLP where he served as a member of the Firm’s Executive Committee and Chair of its Complex Litigation/Dispute Resolution group.

“Jamil is a hard-working, highly regarded attorney who brings extensive experience and strong leadership skills to the Firm. He is exactly the type of attorney we hope to attract, and we are delighted he has found a new home at Munsch Hardt,” said Phil Appenzeller, CEO. “As our normal recruiting efforts recommence, we are optimistic this is just the beginning of an active and successful lateral recruiting season for our Firm.”

With 25 years of experience, Alibhai’s practice focuses on both complex commercial litigation and all facets of intellectual property disputes.

In 2015, he was named a Winning Litigator by National Law Journal for his work on a patent infringement and stolen trade secret case that ranked as the 16th largest ($88MM) verdict in the nation.
