Troy, Mich.—December 5, 2024—Intellectual property law firm Fishman Stewart PLLC is pleased to announce that firm partner Barbara Mandell was included among the honorees of the just released Lexology 2025 Client Choice award. Mandell was honored in the category of trademarks. The announcement was made by Managing Partner Michael Stewart.
Established in 2005, Client Choice honorees can only be nominated by their clients. The award recognizes those law firms and partners around the world that stand apart for the excellent client care they provide and the quality of their service, and recognizes an attorney’s ability to add value to clients’ business above and beyond other players in the market.
“The Lexology Client Choice acknowledgement is a consistent theme in her career; Barbara always draws the highest praise from her clients, due in large part to her exceptional legal knowledge, tenacity and practical approach,” Stewart said. “She is a wonderful member of the Fishman Stewart team.”
Mandell’s thriving law practice focuses on commercial litigation, copyright and trademark law and antitrust. She litigates, arbitrates and counsels her clients on patent, trademark and licensing matters, theft of trade secrets, breach of license and franchise agreements, trade dress and copyright infringement claims, and counterfeiting, unfair competition and false advertising claims. Additionally, Mandell is an experienced arbitrator, presiding over more than 70 commercial arbitrations for the American Arbitration Association, either as a solo arbitrator or on a panel, including as the panel chair.
Mandell is a frequently lauded attorney. She has been named a Super Lawyer, Best Lawyer, Leading Lawyer and DBusiness Top Lawyer multiple times, and was included in the Influential Women of Law Class of 2022 by the legal trade publication Michigan Lawyers Weekly.
