Drawing on its bench strength across US, Europe, and the Asia Pacific regions, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP is highly recommended for its significant experience in the International Trade Commission and before the TTAB. The practice is jointly-helmed by San Francisco’s Clement Seth Roberts and Los Angeles’s Alyssa Caridis, who contribute their extensive experience to the practice. In Boston, David Hosp has advised the most prominent media and technology companies in high-profile trademark litigations, and Mark Puzella has represented New Balance and a varied array of other notable clients before the courts. Sheryl Garko bolsters the practice with her considerable expertise covering a diverse range of technologies and the trademark issues surrounding them. Silicon Valley’s Diana Rutowski is noted for her ability to manage takedown campaigns that involve strategically locating trademark infringements online and developing an effective enforcement strategy, while San Francisco’s Nathan Shaffer is frequently retained by tech companies for assistance with high-stakes litigation.
