Our summer associate program is off to a great start. Emory University of School Law students Yunseo Ki and Nikita Patel have jumped right in to support projects across the firm, and we’ve loved getting to know them more.

Last week, the BFV team gathered for a happy hour to welcome Yun and Nikita, and enjoyed great conversation, refreshments, and a little friendly competition. Special shoutout to Neal Weinrich for being on fire at Pop-A-Shot!

We’re looking forward to a great summer.

Congratulations to Rebecca Hagenson, Ashley Bowcott, and Alexandra Zimmer on being appointed to leadership roles with GAWL - Georgia Association for Women Lawyers.

We are proud to support the Georgia Association for Women Lawyers’ Annual Sneaker Ball, where Rebecca and BFV attorneys Lea Dearing and Emma Sammons enjoyed a wonderful evening celebrating GAWL’s 95th anniversary and the induction of its new leadership.

Rebecca was sworn in as secretary of the board of directors and BFV associates Ashley Bowcott and Alexandra Zimmer were appointed co-chairs of GAWL’s Mentoring and Civic Engagement committees, respectively.

We have no doubt they will do a great job and look forward to their continued contributions to the organization and community.

What a great few days in Texas at this year’s American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) Trade Secret Summit. BFV is proud to have been part of the program, which provided updates on litigation, enforcement, AI, forensics, and other trends shaping trade secret law.

Shareholders Benjamin Fink and Lea Dearing participated in panels covering trade secret damages and the impact of forensics in trade secret cases.

We enjoyed connecting and sharing insights with peers from across the country. Thank you to everyone who made it a great summit.

What happens when infringement is discovered, a demand letter regarding trademark infringement is sent, and goes unanswered—or worse, when the infringer simply ignores it and keeps going? Sometimes, protecting your brand requires taking the fight to court.

In BFV attorney Cher Gregoire's most recent post from her Brand Protection Strategies for Your Business series, she explains when litigation becomes necessary, what types of claims are available to trademark owners, and what the litigation process generally looks like, so you can make informed decisions about enforcing your rights.

When Cease-and-Desist Isn’t Enough: Trademark Enforcement Through Litigation This post is the fifth installment in a six-part series on essential brand protection strategies. In Parts 1 through 4 of this series, we covered the foundations of building a strong brand, including trademark clearance, ...

As noncompetes continue to face increased scrutiny and regulation, understanding the changing landscape and protecting business interests is critical for companies.

BFV shareholder Lea Dearing will join legal leaders from across the nation for Practising Law Institute (PLI)’s Fundamentals of Noncompetes program tomorrow, April 21.

The program will provide a practical overview of restrictive covenants—including noncompete, nonsolicitation, and nondisclosure agreements—what they protect, how courts assess enforceability, and key considerations for drafting and litigation.

Lea’s panel will address restrictive covenant litigation in 2026, exploring key components and effective strategies for litigating these cases.

The program is available in-person in NYC and online: https://www.pli.edu/programs/fundamentals-of-noncompetes/440459?tCode=DVZ6_FCLTY
