Benchmark Litigation has recognized 14 Mintz Members in its newly released 2024 guide to the leading litigation firms and lawyers in the US. The firm was also acknowledged for its work in Massachusetts and received high rankings across three practice areas, including General Commercial, Insurance, and White Collar.

Mintz is pleased to announce that Member Joanne Hawana has been awarded the Pro Bono Advocate of the Year Award by Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) for her exceptional contributions to her clients’ cases. The annual awards “recognize outstanding attorneys and volunteers who have gone above and beyond in their assistance to unaccompanied children.”

Life sciences trade secret cases continue to climb, driven by evolving restrictions on certain types of patents and patent litigation, a spike in companies’ use of confidential data, and increased employee mobility — and changes linked to the 2016 Defend Trade Secrets Act. In an article for IAM, Member Tom Wintner and Associate Nick Armington explain how these trends are shaping IP protection in the sector.

Managing Member Bob Bodian was interviewed by Law.com International on the firm’s expansion in the Canadian legal market, including the firm’s strategy to offer clients a cross-border service.
