The World's Leading Trademark Professionals recognizes 40 DLA Piper lawyers
DLA Piper continues to be widely recognized by World Trademark Review 1000: The World's Leading Trademark Professionals, which has named 40 DLA Piper lawyers to its 2022 list of top trademark professionals. The list of DLA Piper trademark experts includes 9 lawyers in multiple key United States jurisdictions, reflecting the practice’s deep bench and strategic national reach. These individuals are Ryan Compton, Andrew Deutsch, Gina Durham, Tamar Duvdevani, Ann Ford, Michael Geller, David Kramer, Keith Medansky and Thomas Zutic. In addition to individual accolades, DLA Piper is ranked as a top national trademark firm with additional nods for the firm’s Illinois and Washington, DC departments.
WTR recommends these leading professionals and departments based on an extensive four-month research process in which the publication interviews hundreds of lawyers and clients around the world to identify firms and individuals “that are deemed outstanding in this critical area of practice.” The guide notes that DLA Piper practitioners range from “seasoned” trial lawyers “extremely effective at framing issues in ways that are compelling to judges” to a “leading expert” in IP transactions delivering “rock-solid IP protection” to go-to counsel for “well-known brands” in need of support on “strategically important matters” such as “complex litigation and global rebranding.”
