This year we are pleased to announce that the firm moved to the Second Tier of Benchmark's National Rankings for Intellectual Property. Greg Diskant and Jeff Lewis were also listed as National Stars for Intellectual Property.
Comments about the firm have included:
The firm “houses some serious litigation talent. ‘I consider them to be a really useful firm in the tool chest of firms out there,’ one client says. ‘They are one of the best litigating firms in the United States,’ praises another.”
“Peers regard complex commercial litigator Saul Shapiro for his strength in intellectual property matters. With lead counsel work in seven trials to date, he is also experienced in securities and media and entertainment.”
“[Saul] Shapiro along with partner Peter Tomlinson, assisted in the representation of Cendant in litigation against former auditor Ernst & Young. The team successfully defended against Ernst & Young’s motion to dismiss Cendant’s claims and, with billions of dollars at stake, the case was recently settled.”
“Peers describe [Peter] Tomlinson as a ‘terrific lawyer with a bright future.’”
