Firm overview

Based on an analysis of public records and the firm's litigation history as of May 2, 2026:

Connell Foley LLP is a full-service regional law firm with its headquarters in Roseland, New Jersey. The firm maintains a significant presence in the Northeast with additional offices in New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, and other New Jersey locations. With a roster of over 140 attorneys, Connell Foley is a large regional firm, recognized by ranking bodies such as Chambers USA and U.S. News - Best Law Firms for its commercial litigation, construction, real estate, and insurance practices in New Jersey. The firm is not presently ranked by these publications specifically for its intellectual property or patent litigation practice.

The firm’s intellectual property group handles disputes involving trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. In patent litigation, the firm states that it "regularly teams with nationally recognized patent firms as litigation counsel." This suggests a role often focused on providing local counsel and trial support in complex patent matters. The firm's broader litigation practice serves clients in sectors that include pharmaceuticals, life sciences, financial services, and industrial equipment, though no specific technology area stands out for its patent work.

The authoritative case list shows a single tracked patent litigation appearance for Connell Foley, which was on the defendant side in Ricky Kamdem-ouaffo, Trading AS Kamdem Group v. Naturasource International LLC et al. While this limited data points to defense work, the firm's website states it acts for both plaintiffs and defendants in patent cases. The lead attorneys listed in that matter, Liza M. Walsh and Tricia B. O'Reilly, are no longer with the firm; public records indicate they departed in 2016 to establish a new law firm. A review of public dockets and legal news sources did not reveal a significant volume of appearances before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or a focus on inter partes review (IPR) proceedings.
