Only a small percentage of lawyers are selected for inclusion each year.
“Intellectual property touches nearly every aspect of a growing business, from brand development to market expansion and enforcement,” said Elizabeth. “I enjoy helping clients navigate those opportunities and challenges with practical, tailored counsel. To be recognized by fellow attorneys in this field for the 13th year is an honor.”
