Honorees include “the very best litigators and trial attorneys” who serve as “trusted advisors” to clients in the Los Angeles region. Mr. Horne serves as Managing Partner of Knobbe Martens’ Los Angeles office.
In his honoree profile, the LABJ described Mr. Horne as “an industry-lauded intellectual property trial lawyer who regularly leads high stakes jury trials in federal court, including some of the largest and most consequential IP verdicts in recent years.” The publication further highlighted Mr. Horne’s “rare ability to lead and win across the full range of IP disciplines,” citing his success in leading trial teams to favorable outcomes for both plaintiffs and defendants in IP litigation.
