Hill Ward Henderson is pleased to announce that the firm has been recognized as one of only five firms recommended in Florida in the inaugural IAM Copyright 1000, the first global ranking focused exclusively on leading copyright practices and practitioners. The guide identifies firms and attorneys at the forefront of copyright law across key jurisdictions worldwide.
Three Hill Ward Henderson attorneys — David L. Luikart III, Stephen E. Kelly and Thomas J. (T.J.) Banks — were also recognized among just seven attorneys cited in Florida.
IAM’s research team conducted an extensive qualitative research process, including interviews and correspondence with copyright practitioners, clients and market commentators, as well as written submissions from firms regarding their recent work. Firms were evaluated based on factors including depth of expertise, market presence and the level of work on which they are typically instructed, while individual practitioners were selected based on positive feedback from knowledgeable market sources.
Earlier this year, the firm’s IP Group received other notable recognitions, including being ranked in Chambers USA as Band 3 and named in the World Trademark Review (WTR) 1000 2026 guide.
These recognitions highlight Hill Ward Henderson’s longstanding commitment to providing sophisticated counsel on intellectual property matters. The firm’s Intellectual Property & Technology attorneys advise clients on a broad range of matters involving intellectual property protection, enforcement, licensing and technology, including copyright, trademarks and patents.
