I have had the privilege of working with Elizabeth Rest and her team at Crown, LLP for over 3 years and have been very pleased with the quality and level of service that we have received. Elizabeth is highly responsive, both in processing routine trademark matters as well as in addressing more complex issues. She and her team proactively facilitate the management of our trademark portfolio and provide sage guidance to us on a range of trademark, copyright, and related intellectual property matters. As an example, she provided us with strategic advice and engaged directly with opposing counsel on a trademark dispute, which led us to an acceptable resolution. She also facilitates our global trademark and copyright protections, helping us to avoid the time and increased expense of working directly with firms in each jurisdiction where we do business. I greatly appreciate the level of partnership that Elizabeth and Crown have provided and look forward to our ongoing relationship and work together.

Crown has been great counsel for us at Joffer Beverage Company. Elizabeth has been very responsive, concise, dependable, to the point, reliable, knowledgeable, and accessible. We appreciate her personable style, but with the utmost professionalism and expertise. We give Crown our full support and would recommend Elizabeth and Owen of Crown, LLP to anyone who needs high-level attorney service with down to earth interactions.

I have sided with Elizabeth for over 6 years in a hard-fought war against “legal fake” operations – one of the many “clever” ideas counterfeiters have recently come up with to flood the market with knockoffs, trying and getting away with it – in Italy. And I must say that I’ve hardly had such a great connection with a foreign counsel: she is really brilliant and easily understands also things that work differently from the US, being always able to provide very valuable advice. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity of getting to know her partner Owen, and the two of them together are an IP-force: I’d strongly recommend Crown for any IP matter in the USA, as well as for setting forth an effective brand protection strategy on a global scale.

“The Barra Family has been working with Elizabeth Rest since the beginning of our brand development of Mia Bea Wines over 10+ years ago.

Our initial dealings focused on Trademark issues, which we found to be an easy process, thanks to the seamless work by Elizabeth and Crown LLP®.

This past year, Elizabeth was instrumental in helping us overcome a legal matter of personal significance. We have been so impressed with the manner in which she has cared for us, not only regarding the legal aspects but also as a Champion for our small family business.”

One of our clients told us they’ve never experienced such a thorough and thoughtful creative agency contract review. That’s thanks to Owen, our trusted counsel for many years. I sleep better at night knowing he’s looking out for us.

“Crown®,LLP has provided the Almaden Valley Athletic Club® (AVAC®) with valuable legal counsel for many years. As a large health club with active gym, aquatics, tennis, group fitness, and personal training programs, servicing everyone from toddlers to seniors, Owen and Elizabeth have expertly and efficiently assisted us with the broad range of legal and business issues that arise, including membership documentation and issues, labor law matters, general business and operational issues, and intellectual property registration and protection. Crown® LLP was of particular assistance during the pandemic, while we maintained operations to the extent possible within the confines of the applicable health orders and moved more offerings online to service our membership. I highly recommend Crown®, Owen, and Elizabeth to anyone engaging in business in the fitness industry, or any business for that matter, and in need of expert and easy to work with legal counsel.”

Elizabeth at Crown LLP has been an incredible partner with us. We are a predominately Black Organization working in the intersection of homelessness, addiction, and mental health. Elizabeth has provided us a quality and professional service that is beyond the scope we requested. Her help in getting our brands and designs protected and registered as copyrights and trademarks has been exceptional. Elizabeth’s knowledge has helped us understand the cognitive origins of stereotypes and biases in the copyright and trademark world. Elizabeth has been very welcoming in every discussion, facilitating every meeting as a learning and teaching moment for us, and deepened our experiences of how the Urban Alchemy brand can be a pilar in the community in which we live and work. In fact, Urban Alchemy has found that by engaging Crown LLP we improved our overall confidence, by knowing that the brand we have on our chest and back belongs with people who are different. Moreover, Elizabeth is wonderful to work with—always positive and professional,. Elizabeth exuded us with grace along with a can-do and will-do attitude. Thank you, Crown LLP.
