Another partner leaves Frost Brown Todd
For the second time in a month, a partner with the Louisville office of law practice Frost Brown Todd has left the firm for another job.

Arthur S. Beeman, former co-chairman of Frost Brown Todd's intellectual property litigation practice group, has taken a job as director and head of the patent litigation practice at Howard Rice Nemerovski Canady Falk & Rabkin in San Francisco, according to a news release.

The release said Beeman has both defended clients against patent infringement allegations and represented clients in claims against their patents.

Howard Rice's intellectual property practice group consists of more than 30 attorneys. The firm's clients include PalmSource Inc., Ariba Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. and the United States Olympic Committee.

According to a previous Business First report, Jay Tannon, a former Frost Brown Todd partner, left the firm in May for a position with the law firm of Pillsbury Winthrop LLP in Virginia.
