Robert Zelnick

Robert W. Zelnick is a nationally recognized intellectual property (IP) lawyer with an established record of success. Although he is also a registered patent attorney, for more than two decades Robert has focused his practice on trademark, unfair competition and false advertising matters, where he counsels clients on complex IP issues and serves as lead counsel for major clients in federal trial and appellate courts. According to client feedback in World Trademark Review, as the former head of the Firm’s Global Trademark Practice Group for 10 years, he has “an absolutely superb track record in the courtroom.” Clients also single him out for his “particular thoroughness in his research, his answers to our questions, and the depth of the options he provides us with.” In 2017, Robert was named to The Legal 500’s inaugural Hall of Fame, which recognized fewer than 500 US lawyers across all fields of practice. Robert also serves as an adjunct professor at George Washington University Law School, teaching “Advanced Trademark Law.”

Recognized as one of the most effective and innovative insurance lawyers in the world, Robin has recovered over $10 billion for policyholder plaintiffs like Pfizer, Walmart, CBS, Verizon, and AMC.

Among other groundbreaking results, Robin secured the extremely rare reversal of a jury verdict, while representing Conduent State Healthcare in its pursuit of insurance coverage relating to a $236 million Medicaid settlement. The decision was recently upheld by the Delaware Supreme Court. Robin’s work has also established precedent in vital areas of D&O insurance, including a recent major win for Harman International Industries, when the Delaware Supreme Court held that a “bump-up” exclusion in a D&O policy did not bar coverage for Harman’s $28 million settlement of an underlying shareholder class action. Outside the courtroom, Robin focuses on bet-the-company insurance issues that materially impact the bottom line for her clients. Organizations rely on her to address coverage questions stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic, governmental investigations, securities litigation against directors and officers, regulatory developments, and computer system breaches.
