Benchmark’s “Firm of the Year” & “Litigator of the Year"
Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg Named “Silicon Valley Firm of the Year” and Courtland Reichman Awarded “Silicon Valley Litigator of the Year” by Benchmark Litigation
Redwood Shores, Calif. – Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP (RJLF) has been awarded “Silicon Valley Firm of the Year” and Managing Partner Courtland Reichman “Silicon Valley Litigator of the Year” for the second consecutive year at the 2021 Benchmark Litigation West Coast Awards virtual ceremony held on March 31, 2021.
The firm’s recent achievements include securing a $236 million patent infringement verdict on behalf of Densify against tech giant VMware, Inc.
The verdict was announced on January 24, 2020, following a nine-day jury trial before Judge Leonard P. Stark in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Jurors awarded Densify $236 million in damages, finding that VMware willfully infringed two Densify patents that cover virtualization technology that enables multiple computer systems to run on a single server. RJLF’s Courtland Reichman was recognized as The American Lawyer “Litigator of the Week” following his success as lead trial counsel for Densify.
The firm was also recently honored with a 2020 “Turnaround Award” from The M&A Advisor following its successful representation of Reynolds Metals Company (an affiliate of Alcoa Corporation), in reaching a favorable settlement with Gregory Powers Partners in connection with a dispute involving an energy services agreement.
RJLF’s roster of lawyers has grown by 50% over the last year, reflecting significant client demand following its recent courtroom victories.
“Silicon Valley is a competitive legal market,” said Courtland Reichman. “There’s obviously no shortage of legal talent in the region, so it’s a great honor for our firm to be recognized as the ‘Silicon Valley Firm of the Year’ for the second year in a row. Our attorneys could not be more committed to our clients, and this award is a direct reflection of their efforts.”
