FURTHER INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION IN 2016 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 6th edition of the WTR 1000 The World's Leading Trademark Professionals, published by World Trademark Review, out of London, in 2016. The listing in the hard copy edition is under Bacal Law Group while the online version, linked to here, is under our new trade name, Bacal Andersen & Garrison Law Group. In the 2016 edition Sean Garrison is described 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 is described as "nationally and internationally prominent." This edition includes Arizona firms for the first time and Bacal Andersen & Garrison Law Group was one of only six listed firms--all 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.
