Dentons hires former MetroPCS deputy general counsel in Dallas

Garreth Sarosi has joined Dentons' intellectual property and technology practice as a partner in the Dallas office

During the merger, Sarosi handled all regulatory investigations, including those with the Federal Communications Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission, related to the deal.

In the role of deputy general counsel, Sarosi directed all of the company's IP-related litigation, including false advertising, non-compete agreement and patent, trade mark and trade secret litigation.
