April 23, 2025, Berkeley, CA…Cherian LLP has been selected for the Chambers Spotlight series, an honor reserved for the leading small firms in specific practices and jurisdictions.  Cherian LLP was “Spotlighted” for its Intellectual Property practice in Berkeley, California.

In announcing the selection, Chambers noted, “Small firms in Berkeley provide effective representation in contentious copyright, trademark, trade secrets and patent proceedings. Cherian LLP operates a go-to practice for patent litigation, offering a strong roster of courtroom advocates.”

“We are honored by this recognition from Chambers,” said Robert Harkins, the firm’s Managing Partner. “Most of our attorneys came from large law firms.  From that experience we know that on any given matter, the client works with a specific team of lawyers.  Our clients recognize that our team here at Cherian LLP represents their interests in IP and trials as well or better than teams at the nation’s largest firms.”

According to the Chambers profile, “Cherian LLP is best known for its patent litigation work. The firm has an impressive client list of major technology-sector companies and offers high-quality expertise before the ITC, PTAB and district and federal courts.” In addition to Berkeley, the firm has additional offices in Washington DC and Dallas, and works with clients across the country and the world in multiple jurisdictions and sectors, ranging from semiconductors and energy distribution to e-commerce.
