Lee & Hayes, PC has grown to be one of the nation’s most sought after IP law firms. We represent some of the world’s largest and most innovative organizations and employ a team of attorneys and staff whose expertise and education rival the best of the best. |
Lee & Hayes is a pre-eminent intellectual property (IP) practice with expertise beyond the basics of IP. Over 80 seasoned IP attorneys and agents provide patent, trademark, copyright, and litigation services to businesses ranging from the Fortune 100 to leading-edge start-ups. Our corporate and FDA/Regulatory practices synergize with our IP core to plan and execute comprehensive business strategies for our technology clients. During our 25 years in practice, we have championed the understanding that IP and its complementary disciplines are not a commodity, but an asset class.

At Lee & Hayes, we provide more than intellectual property legal services — we are The Business of IP®
