TOP LAW FIRMS FIRM SIZE TIERS
LARGE: more than 50 attorneys
MEDIUM: 11-50 attorneys
SMALL: 2-10 attorneys
SOLO: 1 attorney
Top firms were chosen based on the number of firm attorneys who have been
selected to a 2013 or 2014 Super Lawyers list in business practice areas, as
well as a combination of metrics indicating the quality of those attorneys.
Quality factors that were considered included the number of years selected to
the list, inclusion on a top list and average blue ribbon panel score.
HAHN LOESER & PARKS
NAPLES, FLA.
With over 130 licensed attorneys, a firm that has served
Fortune 500 companies might be intimidating for a small
startup business. But Ron Nordmann, chairman of Healthy
Concepts Food Company, says, “I feel like we’re treated like
a very important client.” He praises Jeanne Seewald, who
handles all of his company’s legal work. “She answers her own
phone,” he says. “I asked her to look over contracts or to file a
trademark [and] she [quickly] gets it done.”
FROSS ZELNICK LEHRMAN & ZISSU
NE W YORK, N. Y.
The New York and D.C. firm is one of the largest in the world
solely dedicated to all-things IP. David A. Cohen, assistant
general counsel and chief trademark counsel for Honeywell,
has worked with the firm for 14 years. “I don’t recall any issue
that I have faced that Fross couldn’t advise me about, and they
are equally or [more] cost-effective than most other firms that
operate in this area,” Cohen says.
