Nicole Macut, '19 joins Am Law 100 firm Polsinelli’s rapidly growing Dallas office as an associate in the Medical Devices and Mechanical Engineering Patent Prosecution practice.

“Polsinelli continues to add outstanding talent to our Dallas office as the North Texas region’s business base keeps growing exponentially,” said Jon Henderson, managing partner of Polsinelli’s Dallas office and chair of the firm’s national Corporate and Transactional practice. “We believe our new associates will be significant contributors to our continued focus on these core practice areas, in support of our firm’s work not only for clients here in Texas, but also nationwide.”

Macut brings a pragmatic approach toward the business considerations and legal complexities that arise, with respect to protecting her clients’ intellectual property. She leverages her double major in both biology and chemistry to assess invention disclosures and draft thorough patent applications, with significant experience with medical devices. Her practice also includes preparing and prosecuting trademark applications and responding to formal actions from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Macut earned her J.D. from the Texas A&M University School of Law and holds a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toledo. While in law school, she served as president of Texas A&M’s Intellectual Property association. 

Polsinelli’s Texas offices, with approximately 80 professionals in Dallas and Houston, have grown by more than tenfold in less than a decade. This robust local presence provides a gateway to a national, full-service law firm that delivers sophisticated legal counsel and client service, infused with deeply held values. Polsinelli is strongly committed to supporting businesses ranging from entrepreneurial, innovative start-up companies to middle-market leaders across a wide range of industry sectors, and the firm is significantly involved in many of the region’s key civic and community service groups.
