Lackenbach Siegel, a venerable intellectual property firm for over 96 years, is merging with Nolte IP Law Group, a forerunner in the high-tech patent space, to create a full-service midsize intellectual property law firm with a national footprint.

With its rich history and global high-profile clients, Lackenbach is known as a leader in the IP industry. Now Lackenbach will substantially grow its resources by adding 15 experienced patent attorneys to its attorney roster. Lackenbach’s managing partner, Howard Aronson, describes the merger as “creating a firm that the market was looking for in size and geographic presence, staffed with highly specialized attorneys, long experienced in representing clients with attractive rates and flat fee pricing.”
