RJLF Ranked as a Top Trial Boutique and Leading IP Firm in Benchmark Litigation 2024

 

Benchmark Litigation recognized Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP (RJLF) among the top trial boutiques as well as a leading intellectual property firm in the United States. RJLF was ranked in the District of Columbia and California for dispute resolution, and also received the highest “Tier 1” ranking in Silicon Valley for its commercial and intellectual property litigation capabilities.

In less than five years since its launch, Benchmark noted that the majority women-owned firm has made a “notable impression on the legal community” and fostered a robust “trial-forward” approach. The firm has not only widened its geographical reach with the opening of its Austin office—complementing its existing network in Silicon Valley, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and New York—but also amplified its trial prowess with the addition of Amy Ruhland, a seasoned trial lawyer from Texas, who joined the firm from DLA Piper in August 2023.

Industry & Client Feedback

Highlighted remarks from peers and clients include:

“[RJLF is] “smart and hungry”
“They started national. And yet they are still lean and nimble.”
“They are known for doing a lot of IP work but it’s more than just standard patent cases – it’s more diverse, with a lot of it crossing over into antitrust and even bankruptcy.”
“The firm does an exceptional job preparing complex technical cases for trial before a lay jury. The firm also uses technology such as internal databases well to disseminate relevant information to the entire team quickly, which is exceedingly important in a fast-moving yet complex case.”
