Intellectual property partner David Merritt was named a 2022 “Up & Coming Attorney” by Minnesota Lawyer. The award recognizes “new attorneys off to a fast start in their legal careers and the legal professionals who work to make sure the job gets done.” All honorees are in their first decade of practice.
Merritt represents clients in advertising, trademark and other intellectual property disputes throughout the country. He has significant experience with all stages of litigation, including trials, appeals and TROs.
“Up & Coming Attorneys” will be honored during an awards event on Sept. 16, 2022. Minnesota Lawyer will also honor “Unsung Legal Heroes” at the ceremony, including Managing Director of Professional Development Dana Gray.
In a feature profile with Minnesota Lawyer, Merritt discussed his ongoing work with the firm’s trademark and advertising group. He said, “A lot of companies have a hard time complying with the law while making advertising seem natural. I like to help our clients say things that sound normal while limiting exposure.”
