Peers agree that former BakerHostetler lawyers, Nancy Rubner Frandsen in Philadelphia and Donna Tobin in New York should be added to the rankings. Indeed, they are both recognised in these rankings as 'Recommended, Contentious'.

Says a peer: “It's because of the quality of their work. When I needed a second opinion, I would call either one of them, because I trusted their judgement, and I knew they were very good practitioners.”

A client who has worked with Rubner Frandsen for many years, comments that she is “a trusted advisor for trademark matters. Nancy provides timely, practical, common-sense advice and is very responsive. We couldn’t ask for a better partner and advisor on trademark matters."

Trademark litigator and a co-founder of the firm Barry Cohen (Recommended, Contentious) was a featured keynote speaker on IP and Innovation at the International Trademark Association (INTA) 2024 Annual Meeting, May 2, 2024. “He’s great as a co-counsel,” says a peer. “I really just trust Barry.”

Barry Cohen and Nancy Rubner Frandsen established IP Philly on March 13, 2024, as part of the inaugural Intellectual Property Institute CLE programme in partnership with Temple University Beasley School of Law. The speakers included federal judges The Honorable Gregory Sleet (Retired) of JAMS, and The Honorable John Murphy of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The RCCB Intellectual Property Group served as faculty for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI) webcast course on IP and Technology Law.
