Seed IP Law Group is proud to announce that two of its partners, Karl R. Hermanns and Stephen J. Rosenman, Ph.D., have received the “Lawyer of the Year” Award by The Best Lawyers in America, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, in its 2019 edition. Mr. Hermanns and Dr. Rosenman are members of Seed IP’s Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals & Chemistry Group and each has been providing quality IP services to leading biotech, chemistry, and pharmaceutical companies in the Northwest and beyond for over 20 years, with a practice focusing on multiple aspects of intellectual property, including strategic patent portfolio development, and IP licensing. Mr. Hermanns, who has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America since 2005, received his “Lawyer of the Year” designation for his work in Patent Law. Dr. Rosenman, listed in The Best Lawyers in America since 2010, received his “Lawyer of the Year” designation for his work in Biotechnology and Life Sciences Practice.

Attorneys selected as ‘Lawyer of the Year’ receive particularly high ratings from their peers for their abilities, professionalism and integrity in the Best Lawyers annual survey of leading U.S. lawyers.

The 25th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2019) is based on more than 4.9 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers. Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. After more than a quarter of a century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating ‘Lawyers of the Year’ in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer, in each specialty, in each community, is being honored as a ‘Lawyer of the Year.’

Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers, says, “We continue to believe – as we have believed for more than 25 years – that recognition by one’s peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession.”

Our congratulations to Mr. Hermanns and Dr. Rosenman on receiving the “Lawyer of the Year” Award by The Best Lawyers in America (2019 Edition).
