Three WilliamsMcCarthy Partners Selected to the 2026 Illinois Super Lawyers List
Four WilliamsMcCarthy LLP partners were selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2025 Illinois Super Lawyers list.
With decades of experience and a dedication to protect your rightful intellectual property and its economic value, our attorneys handle infringement of trade secrets and unfair competition disputes. Because these assets are not registered with a governmental agency like patents or trademarks, misappropriation of a trade secret must be aggressively defended.
Our intellectual property lawyers also work with the firm’s other practice areas to provide advice and conduct due diligence in support of business transactions featuring the sale, license, or transfer of intellectual property. Facilitated by a strong culture of teamwork, WilliamsMcCarthy LLP intellectual property lawyers often draw on the expertise of the firm’s other practice specialties to achieve the client’s objectives quickly and cost-effectively.
If you have any questions or would like to request more information, please contact us.
We regularly share insight in publications and our quarterly e-newsletter, Comments from Counsel.
