Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP has been recognized as one of the top 20 law firms globally for intellectual property in the 2016 “Who’s Who Legal 100.” To compile the list, intended to identify “the law firms of the leading lawyers,” Who’s Who Legal considered firms’ expertise across a broad range of intellectual property matters, from brand management and transactional IP, to high-profile litigation. The publication conducted independent research encompassing surveys and interviews with lawyers and their clients in more than 140 jurisdictions.
Three Knobbe Martens partners were singled out for individual recognition, including Susan Natland, Lynda Zadra-Symes and Jonathan Hyman. As the “Who’s Who Legal 100” announcement stated:
Susan Natland is a “world-class” practitioner, focusing in domestic and international brand protection, as well as unfair competition, copyright, and data privacy and security matters. Her clients “love her swift turn-around and practical approach.”
Lynda Zadra-Symes recently represented Monster Energy Co. in a trademark and copyright infringement lawsuit. She was described as “outstanding” by her peers.
Jonathan Hyman, known for being “very dedicated to his clients and commercially astute”, is also highly ranked among the country’s leading trademark lawyers for strategy and enforcement.
Ms. Natland, Ms. Zadra-Symes and Mr. Hyman were also recognized in “Who’s Who Legal: Trademarks 2016.”
