Our Story: Shaping the New Model of Brand-Centric Legal Partner

Born in New York City, Watson & Young Law was created on the premise that brand owners shouldn’t have to settle for a cookie-cutter solution; they deserve a proactive, trusted, and friendly legal partner, and the modern day law firm provides just that. Headed by Zara Watson, Esq.-a multi-award winning trademark attorney and respected ambassador for intellectual property (IP) law-our brand law firm has continued to reimagine the role of a brand law firm in the digital era. Zara and her team leverage decades of legal experience, with offerings that are digitally-driven and tech-savvy. As your business changes, so will the needs for protecting your assets, reputation, and legacy.

At the center of what we do is trademark law.

Our signature Trademark Registration Services provide end-to-end guidance through every step of your trademark application-from brand searches to filings to office actions to final registration.
