The lawyers at Northmark

Three lawyers, each leading one kind of IP work, and each working with founders and creators directly.

How we work

Small on purpose

Nobody you haven't met works on your matter. When it crosses practices, like a brand with a patent and a licensing deal, the lawyers on it agree who leads, and you get one quote and one person to call.

  • One lawyer leads each matter

  • Every fee quoted in writing first

  • Filings copied to you the day they go in
