Crown, LLP is proud to be selected for inclusion in the inaugural Chambers Spotlight Guide 2025 for California. The California Spotlight Guide is a prestigious new initiative produced by Chambers – a highly regarded, independent research company – that highlights standout small and mid-sized firms across the state. Crown is recognized for its exceptional expertise in Intellectual Property law.
“It’s an honor to be ranked among the top IP firms in California. We pride ourselves on providing a combination of sophisticated legal services and a level of personalized client service that can’t be replicated by larger firms,” said Elizabeth J. Rest, a principal and co-founder of Crown. “We have a deep passion for the work we do, and this ranking validates that we do it well.”
As the Chambers Review notes, Crown is “a go-to resource for entertainment, food and beverage, as well as lifestyle companies” for “all manner of trademark and copyright prosecution and transactional matters.”
“This recognition underscores Crown’s role as a trusted legal partner for companies and creatives navigating complex intellectual property and business operations challenges in California and beyond,” said Owen Seitel, a principal and co-founder of Crown.
The California Spotlight Guide identifies firms delivering exceptional legal services with deep regional knowledge and industry-specific expertise. Chambers’ independent research team carefully selects firms that provide sophisticated legal counsel—particularly in niche practice areas, like IP—on par with large, national and international firms, while maintaining the agility and personal attention that boutique-sized law firms can offer.
Crown is uniquely positioned to efficiently address the IP needs of its clients, including domestic and international trademark and copyright work and NIL licensing, as well as the business law issues common to any venture, including serving as outside general counsel. The firm’s clients range from Fortune 500 companies to individual creatives. Earlier this month, both Elizabeth and Owen were named Top IP Lawyers in the state of California by the Daily Journal, California’s largest legal newspaper.
