Biography

Rob Carroll is a partner in Goodwin’s IP Litigation group, and a member of the firm’s Antitrust Litigation and Business Litigation practices and is a member of the firm’s Life Sciences Disputes group. World Trademark Review describes him as a “[t]errific advocate” with “a glittering track record in contentious mandates. He has the ability to filter down all possible arguments to the ones viable in court and can then use his superior judgment to pick a winning choice – being able to accurately evaluate the benefits of all positions is his main strength.”

He has experience in intellectual property litigation and counseling, including patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, false advertising and unfair competition matters. He also has experience in complex antitrust and business litigation and arbitration, with a particular focus on the life sciences industry.

In 2011, Mr. Carroll received the firm’s Robert B. Fraser Pro Bono Award for his work providing pro bono legal services for asylum applicants and unaccompanied minors in immigration proceedings.
