World Trademark Review recognized Crowell & Moring as a top trademark firm, ranking the firm in both the U.S. national rankings and Belgium national rankings in its 2024 guide. In addition to its U.S. national rankings, Crowell received the highest ranking—gold—in Illinois, and also earned regional recognition in California.
In recognizing the U.S.-based parts of the practice, WTR noted that “Crowell & Moring serves up a truly coast-to-coast trademark offering, with top-flight practitioners stationed in Chicago, DC, New York and Los Angeles. From enforcing non-traditional marks to taking up the fight against genericide, the firm offers an adept practice in the contentious space, focused directly on securing clients’ business objectives.
WTR also noted when honoring the Belgium practice that “operating on both a domestic and international level, Crowell & Moring is a longstanding model for success and the ensemble handles complex cross-border disputes with aplomb.”
Eleven firm attorneys received individual accolades: Chicago partners Andrew Avsec, David Fleming, Jeffery Handelman, Howard Michael, and Virginia Wolk Marino; Los Angeles partners Valerie Goo and Kent Goss; Brussels partners Jan-Diederik Lindemans and Kristof Roox and counsel Matteo Mariano; and New York partner Preetha Chakrabarti.
