Joe Farris is a trial attorney and trusted advisor to technology companies facing high-stakes litigation, with a focus on the novel legal questions reshaping the technology industry. Recently, Joe has been one of a small number of litigators at the forefront of generative AI litigation — having represented leading AI companies in closely watched copyright class actions and advised clients on a range of legal issues impacting AI technology.

His broader practice centers on many forms of intellectual property and technology litigation: including copyright and trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation, virtual item economies, and hacking and web-scraping claims. Joe also litigates a range of commercial disputes impacting technology companies — including contract breaches, employee mobility claims (including non-disclosure, non-competition, and non-solicitation agreements), licensing and royalty disagreements, and founders’ disputes. His clients include leading AI companies and major technology companies, global venture capital firms, video game designers, medical technology companies, and electronics manufacturers.
