Adams & Reese Partner Mitch Boult has been named a 2025 IP Star by Managing IP, a global publication that evaluates top intellectual property practitioners based on client feedback, practitioner surveys, firm submissions, and public data.

The IP Stars annual rankings identify the top law firms and lawyers across a variety of IP practice areas and more than 80 jurisdictions, making it the most comprehensive and widely respected IP practitioner guide in the legal profession.

Boult, who also serves on the Adams & Reese Executive Committee, has played a leading role in the firm’s Global Intellectual Property practice since joining in 2005. This year, Boult celebrated 40 years in the legal field. He represents a wide range of clients in multi-jurisdictional IP litigation and dispute resolution involving trademarks, copyrights, patents, and anti-counterfeiting matters and has served as lead advisor on branding campaigns across Asia, Europe, and North, Central, and South America. 

“It’s an honor to continue to be recognized by Managing IP and to be acknowledged by clients for the work I enjoy doing every day to manage and protect their intellectual property and enhance their bottom line,” said Boult. “The honor also reflects the longstanding work and success of our team at Adams & Reese to provide reliable and dependable counsel. We value partnering with our clients to work strategically, creatively, and collaboratively to grow their valuable brands across local, regional, national, and international markets.”

With close to 10,000 trademarks under management, Boult and the Adams & Reese IP team devise commercial and legal tactics to drive brand value, fortify brand strength, and lower the cost of global trademark portfolios. Boult represents clients embroiled in domain name disputes and in proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
