WE ARE IN THE WTR 1000, the most selective listing for trademark lawyers in the world
FURTHER INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR OUR LAW FIRM AND OUR LAWYERS IN HIGHLY SELECTIVE DIRECTORY OF THE WORLD'S LEADING TRADEMARK PROFESSIONALS
Bacal & Garrison Law Group, Glenn Bacal and Sean Garrison have been included in the prestigious WTR 1000 The World's Leading Trademark Professionals, published by World Trademark Review, out of London, from 2016 to 2019. Sean Garrison has been described in the WTR 1000 as "one of the best practitioners in the state.. who knows the ins and outs of the financial sector like the back of his hand." Glenn Bacal has been described in the WTR 1000 as "nationally and internationally prominent." Bacal & Garrison Law Group is one of the smallest firms listed in the WTR 1000--many of the other firms listed are hundreds of times bigger than our firm (further confirming that you don't have to be large to be great!). The WTR 1000 list is considered to be one of the most selective listings for trademark lawyers. Firms and individuals qualify for a listing on the basis of their depth of expertise, market presence and the level of work. Because we are well aware of the extraordinary quality of the lawyers and law firms in major markets who have been listed in prior editions of the WTR 1000, and how selective this listing is, we are gratified that we have achieved this recognition for our law firm and our lawyers only 5 years after opening our doors.
