Founding partners Lou Pirkey, Bill Barber and Steve Meleen have decades of experience, working on their own and together, on behalf of both prominent and emerging commercial clients. Over the years, and continuing since founding PirkeyBarber LLP in 2006, our team has guided clients through the dynamic shifts in the global economy, changes in the law and in legal practice, and the emergence of the Internet and new technologies - which have opened up whole new dimensions in the field of trademark law.

Each of our attorneys is well-versed in trademark law and will assertively defend the rights of our clients, both from encroachment of their own marks and from unfounded claims of conflict with others' marks. We are also one of the first firms to sign the International Trademark Association's ADR Pledge, demonstrating our knowledge and commitment to providing informed counsel and representing clients as they seek solutions other than litigation.
