Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear, LLP is pleased to announce it has been highly rated in the annual firm rankings released last week by Chambers USA, which has been ranking America’s leading law firms and attorneys since 1990. The firm has once again received excellent regional rankings for intellectual property in the categories of Patent Prosecution and Life Sciences. Chambers USA noted that during the selection process, one client remarked: “The quality of their work is excellent. All they do is IP, so everyone there is highly qualified. They have high-quality attorneys who are very bright and decisive in their advice.”
In addition, the 2016 Chambers USA regional rankings include three partners based in Knobbe Martens’ Irvine office: Gerard von Hoffmann, Salima Merani, Ph.D., and Joseph Re, who had previously been ranked by Chambers. Joseph Re was ranked in the Intellectual Property: Patent category and Gerard von Hoffmann and Salima Merani were both ranked in the Life Sciences: IP/Patent Litigation category.
Chambers USA covers 45 different practice areas on a national and regional level. Rankings at state-level are based upon the location in which a firm or lawyer practices regardless of the location of its clients, deals and cases. The publication also focuses on law firms that have a national presence and are also ranked in Chambers’ Nationwide tables. The ranking of lawyers and law firms is conducted by a team of more than 140 researchers located in the UK and depends on several factors and considerations including interviews with clients, peers and assessing the recent work done individually and as a department as a whole.
