Attorney Morin prosecutes trademarks in the U.S. and under international treaties.

She has worked with the United States, World Intellectual Property Office, and Great Britain to secure trademarks for clients.

Many of our clients strategically collaborate to achieve commercial success. Accordingly, they require an understanding of how to effectively protect Confidential Information. We approach each assignment individually, taking into consideration unique aspects that define client businesses to insure that Confidential Information is adequately addressed and protected. This typically results in custom contract drafting in advance of any pertinent business discussions taking place. Let us help guide you through those talks.

What People Say About Us

Client Testimonials

Lee’s work is unparalleled, and her love for what she does can clearly be seen.

"We have been working with Lee Morin since 2015. She has helped us to establish our trademark, as well as all corresponding paperwork. She has made each process flow very effortlessly, and it has been very easy on my part only having to supply the required documents. Lee’s work has been super efficient and she has left no box unchecked. Recently we reached out again to Lee in order to acquire help with a trademark infringement. She was able to handle the situation in no time by making sure that everything was taken care of for us. When she is given a task she takes it head on! I have recommended her to several of my friends, and she will continue to be the first person I continue to recommend to other business allies as well."

-Owner, apparel company and designer.

Lee really understands the intricacies in her area of law.

"Over the past several years I’ve sought legal advice for my business and protecting my work. The lawyers I had consulted with were stumped with how to protect my products but Lee understood exactly what I was trying to do and how to go about legally protecting me. In addition working with her has been a pleasure."

-Small business owner and visual artist.

A great, creative lawyer.

"Lee has been an indispensable collaborator in the establishment of our business contracts and trade-marked brand in the animation/motion market. She helped us give form to an abstract idea, was extremely patient and was exceptional in her ability to explain a complex landscape in terms we could understand. At the abstract stages of our company’s development, she helped us focus and prioritize for trademark registration. No question was too small or silly. As we formalized our brand and found our focus, she was efficient and direct, helping us draft necessary contracts. I think what makes Lee stand out for us is that she herself is a creative individual and really understands the creative world-view as well as the legal and professional pitfalls of the entertainment industry."

-Owner, animation production company.

She not only solved the problem, the way she handled our legal matter helped our brand gain stronger footing.

"Lee Morin was super knowledgeable about an issue involving intellectual property, and we are super glad and lucky that we hired her for the job. She not only solved the problem, the way she handled our legal matter helped our brand gain stronger footing. Super glad we hired her for our legal matter."

-Owner, fashion retail business.

Sharp as a tack–nice as they make `em.

"Ms. Morin was recommended to me by another attorney as someone I should speak with regarding intellectual property for a website that I am working on. She is very pleasant to deal with and has a gift for explaining the legal jibber jabber into plain English–or vice versa–taking my English jibber jabber and transforming it into the exact Legalese needed. I am also quite impressed with her knowledge of the kind of legal protections needed and the potential scenarios being faced by creatives in both the cyber and real worlds. She mentions free options as well as the ones that cost, and I appreciate that. She is also equally adept looking at situations/ documents/ possibilities with both micro and macro-vision. I plan to work with her again."

-Director, nonprofit organization.

Lee offered excellent professional recommendations that were spot on with what we were trying to accomplish.

"Lee worked with us to file trademarks, help with corporate compliance, and communicate on governance matters. She was always timely in her work with very well-defined criteria and thoughtful legal assessments. She was a very effective attorney for us and I hope that we can obtain her services again in the future. Thank you for an excellent job!"

-Chairman of the Board, nonprofit corporation.

Lee is just all around a great human being.

"I started a nonprofit working with youth to produce music and film productions. There was so little I understood when I first began. Lee took time to answer the questions I had, and did extra research to make sure she was covering everything I needed to succeed. She is currently filing for our trademarks, and has done a thorough and consistent job."

-Executive Director, nonprofit corporation.

It gives us such relief to have a very bright and thorough intellectual property attorney by our side.

"We have so much to be thankful for as a new brand in America with distribution in nine countries and a huge social following. We never thought we would find such great representation so promptly after relocating to Atlanta and for that we are beyond thankful. You just don’t know how much relief this gives me as the designer. Onward!"

-CEO and fashion designer.
