William Evans

William Evans is a Partner in Goodwin Procter's Complex Litigation and Dispute Resolution group and a member of its Appellate and Supreme Court Litigation practice. Before joining Goodwin's Boston office in 2019, he practiced at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz in New York and clerked for Judge Sandra Lynch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. His practice primarily focuses on briefing and arguing critical motions and appeals, with expertise spanning intellectual property law—including patent, trade secret, and copyright issues—as well as securities and commercial disputes.

In terms of specialty, Mr. Evans has experience in patent litigations involving generic drug products, having represented Dr. Reddy's Laboratories at both trial and appellate levels. His work includes securing summary judgment on issue-preclusion grounds for a generic drug product case. While the tracked case is on the plaintiff side, his verifiable experience demonstrates a capacity to work on both plaintiff and defendant sides, particularly defending clients in the pharmaceutical sector and representing plaintiffs in intellectual property matters.

Mr. Evans served as lead appellate attorney for a trial team that secured a landmark jury verdict for Insulet Corporation in a trade secret case against EOFlow. The jury awarded Insulet $170 million in compensatory damages and $282 million in exemplary damages, and Mr. Evans is listed as representing Insulet Corporation in the subsequent Federal Circuit appeal. He also contributed to drafting the merits briefing in Wilkinson v. Garland, a Supreme Court case concerning reviewability of certain immigration questions.

While Mr. Evans' professional profile does not explicitly detail his experience in PTAB or IPR proceedings, his appellate and complex litigation background suggests a broad engagement with intellectual property challenges. He is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and New York. Mr. Evans earned his J.D. from Stanford Law School in 2016 and a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2015.
