Proskauer Partner, Jon A. Baumgarten, Named among Washington, DC's Best Lawyers in America® 2010
WASHINGTON – (Business Wire) Jon A. Baumgarten, a partner in Proskauer's Washington, DC office, has been named among The Best Lawyers in America® 2010.
Mr. Baumgarten (Information Technology Law, Intellectual Property Law, Technology Law) is widely recognized as one of the country's leading domestic and international intellectual property lawyers. A former General Counsel of the U.S. Copyright Office, he has anchored Proskauer's trial and appellate teams in numerous precedent-setting cases. In addition to being ranked in Best Lawyers for 14 years, he has been recognized in Chambers USA and Legal Times as one of the "Top 10 Copyright and Trademark Attorneys in the Washington, DC Area."
First published in 1983, Best Lawyers lists lawyers in 79 specialties, representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia, who have been chosen through an exhaustive survey in which thousands of the nation's top lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. For the new U.S. edition, more than 24,126 leading attorneys cast more than 2.8 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in the same and related specialties. Lawyers are chosen for inclusion based solely on a vote of their peers. Only a very small percentage of evaluated lawyers ultimately make the list and to remain on the list, they must be at the top of their game, year after year.
Best Lawyers lists, which are produced in partnership with ALM, a leading legal journalism and information company, are available at www.bestlawyers.com . The lists also appear in more than 60 major metropolitan magazines, business journals and newspapers worldwide. Online, the lists reach many millions of viewers in the form of the Best Lawyers search engine, which appears on prominent legal and other media websites throughout the world, including USNews.com, the website of U.S. News & World Report, as well as on both the home page and the Surveys and Rankings page of Law.com, a leading legal portal.
