Marshall Gerstein & Borun's technical expertise is sought by clients in the technology and pharmaceutical sectors. "The firm came to me as one of the best companies in North America, especially in mechanical aspects," noted a client. "It's certainly an easy company to work with - very personable, upfront and genuine. I wouldn't use anybody else."

Focusing on medical devices, mechanical products and electronics, Thomas Ross, said a client, is "has vast experience in his field". Patent prosecutor Jeremy Kriegel earned nods for his knowledge of the mechanical, industrial and consumer products industries. The firm successfully represented 14 cable TV service providers in a suit brought by so-called patent troll Acacia Media Tech Group. The case, which involved four invalid patents and more than 100 claims, rendered a defence victory that was affirmed by the Federal Circuit. An adverse judgment would have threatened the service providers' businesses as well as modern telecommunications overall by granting Acacia ownership over the transmission of compressed, digital data by all cable, satellite and ISPs.
