What They Say
”In cases where settlements are possible, [CLL's] lawyers will always foster settlement. However, in cases where they have to litigate hard, they do. Moreover, the time given to each matter is ample despite their busy schedules. I’ve always found that they make clients feel special and, often, the feeling is that my matter is the only matter they are handling because of the constant care given to it. This is rare in law firm partners.”
2022 The Legal 500“Joel Karni Schmidt has been advising and assisting my clients with trademark filing and prosecution for the past 15 years. I worked closely with Joel on multiple matters and he is an excellent attorney. He is very efficient, always recommends the best and most cost-effective approach, is extremely experienced and thus knows how to solve the problems, and just as important – he is very nice and pleasant to work with.”
2022 The Legal 500Mary Donovan “demonstrates exceptional resourcefulness and judgement, and guides her clients in a way that is sensitive to their budgetary concerns. She is well connected and highly regarded in the wider trademark community, and has excellent relations with local counsel worldwide. She is a pleasure to work with on all aspects of trademark prosecution, enforcement and litigation, as well as unfair competition, internet and advertising issues.”
2022 WTR 1000 – The World’s Leading Trademark Professionals"Trademark prosecution is, in my opinion, one of the strongest points of the firm. The team is well-structured with attorneys and paralegals, the attention to detail is noteworthy, the responses are timely and well-thought out and the all-round training of lawyers ensures that a matter is analyzed from all angles, not just prosecution.”
2022 The Legal 500“From the quality of its clientele to the calibre of its practitioners, Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman is an undisputed leader in the trademark space. For bullet-proof prosecution strategies and hard-hitting enforcement, few firms across the United States offer as well-stocked a bench as the New York boutique. “
