The Seattle office of regional law firm Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt recently hired Davin Chin and Scarlett Hunter as associates.  Chin will practice in the firm’s intellectual property (IP) group and Hunter will focus on representing clients in the area of products liability.

“Both of these attorneys are strong additions to the firm,” said Mark Long, managing partner at Schwabe.  “Scarlett was a summer associate with us and Davin has practiced at other top IP firms in the city, so we know they will bring value to our clients.” 

Chin specializes in drafting and prosecuting patents in the electrical and software fields, both domestically and abroad.  He is also a registered professional engineer, having worked as a design engineer prior to law school.  Chin received his bachelor of arts degree in electrical engineering from the University of Washington and his juris doctor degree, summa cum laude, from Seattle University.  

 A former Schwabe summer associate, Hunter will join the firm’s products liability litigation practice group.  She graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor of arts, magna cum laude, in anthropology and received her juris doctor degree, magna cum laude, from Seattle University.  Prior to entering law school, Hunter was a consulting analyst for Mercer Human Resource Consulting.  Before entering private practice, she served as a judicial extern for the Honorable Robert J.
