RJLF Named Top Boutique and National IP Firm in Benchmark Litigation 2026
Eight RJLF Partners Named Litigation Stars
Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP (RJLF) has been recognized in the 2026 edition of Benchmark Litigation. The firm has been honored as a Top Boutique and achieved a Tier 1 national ranking in Intellectual Property.
In addition to these national accolades, RJLF’s offices in California, Washington, D.C., and Texas received “Recommended” status. Notably, this is the first time RJLF’s Texas office has been ranked, reflecting the firm’s growing presence in the region.
Peers have praised RJLF for its unique approach and rapid rise in the legal community. One peer remarked:
“They started national. And yet they are still lean and nimble.” Another noted, “They are known for doing a lot of IP work, but it’s more than just standard patent cases—it’s more diverse….” A third summed up the firm’s ethos as “smart and hungry.”
The firm’s reputation has also led to a growing number of defense-side engagements. One peer observed:
“They are getting hired for a lot more defense cases now…. You get a couple of big plaintiff wins, you get more plaintiff work. But then the defense bar sees this and says, ‘Oh, you’ve got all of these plaintiff cases, you must be really good lawyers. How about doing some work for us?’”
