CHICAGO – Ryan L. Marshall, an associate in the Salt Lake City office of Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione, has been recognized as a “Rising Star” in the Mountain States by Super Lawyers magazine in the area of intellectual property for the second year in a row.
Every year, Super Lawyers presents a list of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas chosen by Law & Politics. The Rising Stars program recognizes top up-and-coming attorneys who are 40 years old or younger, or who have been practicing for ten years or less. Rising Stars are first nominated by their peers and then reviewed by an attorney-led research team. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state make the list.

He has substantial experience in the chemical, pharmaceutical and biochemical arts. He counsels clients and prepares opinions relating to patentability, invalidity, infringement and enforceability issues.
