Before joining Keller Postman, Zach was an Associate at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP. He represented both plaintiffs and defendants in diverse cases across a wide range of subject matters, including mass torts, class actions, securities fraud, patents, and administrative litigation involving state and federal government entities.

Zach was also part of a team that defended a property preservation services company against trespass and unfair practices claims, resulting in the Ninth Circuit’s affirmance of partial summary judgment and a later district court order granting summary judgment on the remaining claims.

Zach also successfully represented Nokia in multiple patent appeals before the Federal Circuit, procuring affirmances of district court orders granting judgment to Nokia based on patent invalidity and noninfringement.
