He handles litigation over copyrights, trademarks, unfair competition, media, libel and trade secrets. At Silver & Freedman, he was a partner in the intellectual property and entertainment practices. Before that, he was managing partner of the Los Angeles office of Lord Bissell & Brook, now Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell, from 1999 to 2002.

Urrabazo, who also joins the litigation department, focuses on media, advertising, entertainment and securities disputes and has represented companies in trademark, patent litigation, intellectual property issues and bankruptcy matters.

Fern was a partner in the new media, technology & intellectual property practice at Silver & Freedman. He joins the corporate department and focuses on corporate, franchising and intellectual property deals.
