Practical IP counsel.
Built for innovators.
Legal strategy should support growth rather than stand in its way.
Cohn Legal was built around a straightforward idea: sophisticated intellectual property counsel should also be practical, accessible, and easy to understand.
Starting and growing a business requires constant decision-making. New names are selected. Products launch. Brands expand. Partnerships develop. Competitors emerge. Intellectual property issues often appear at the center of those decisions.
We help clients address those issues without losing sight of the bigger picture.
From the earliest stages of selecting and protecting a brand through registration, enforcement, licensing, disputes, and expansion, our attorneys work to understand both the legal question and the business behind it.
We believe legal strategy should support growth rather than stand in its way.

From first idea to established brand.
Cohn Legal works with businesses at many different stages of growth.
Some clients come to us before they have launched their first product. Others have already built valuable brands and need a stronger intellectual property strategy.

Our clients include startups, founders, entrepreneurs, technology companies, consumer brands, e-commerce businesses, professional services companies, creators, agencies, and established organizations.
