A true expert in intellectual property and brand protection

Our company faced a complex trademark infringement issue that threatened a key product line. We were referred to Mark Passler at Akerman, and it was the best decision we could have made. With his three decades of experience, particularly his recognized expertise in trademark law, Mark immediately grasped the nuances of our case. He didn't just offer legal theory; his background advising brand managers and in-house counsel shone through in his practical, business-focused strategy. Mark guided our team through every step of the litigation process, which was handled with exceptional professionalism and clear communication. The result was a favorable settlement that fully protected our intellectual property and brand integrity. His deep knowledge of both patent and trademark law from the University of Miami School of Law onward is formidable. For any senior manager navigating IP challenges in Florida or beyond, Mark is an invaluable asset.
