Testimonials

2026

"I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Jared Kagan and David Bernstein, and their work has been consistently exceptional. They bring a rare combination of strategic clarity, deep subject‑matter understanding, and meticulous attention to detail to every matter they handle. Their ability to analyze complex trademark issues, anticipate challenges, and craft thoughtful, well‑reasoned solutions makes them stand out as truly distinguished trademark litigation counsel. What sets Jared and David apart is not only their legal acumen but also their judgment, responsiveness, and collaborative approach. They are insightful, practical, and unwaveringly dedicated to achieving the best outcomes. Working with them inspires confidence at every stage — from early strategy to briefing to courtroom advocacy."

"It’s hard to imagine better partners in sophisticated trademark matters, and I’m grateful for their consistently outstanding guidance and expertise."

David Bernstein
