Having served both as in-house counsel for a Fortune 10 company and as outside counsel for more than two decades, Jenna Johnson understands what clients value most: exceptional legal work, responsive communication and practical, business-focused solutions delivered efficiently and cost-effectively.

Jenna advises clients across the country on intellectual property, real estate, renewable energy and litigation matters. Her experience managing high-volume litigation and counseling for one of the world’s largest companies gives her a unique understanding of how sophisticated clients evaluate legal services, balancing legal risk, business objectives, and cost-effective outcomes.

Protecting brands through trademark disputes and IP litigation

A significant portion of Jenna’s IP practice centers on intellectual property, including proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB). She represents clients in oppositions, cancellation proceedings and other trademark and copyright disputes, often resolving conflicts before they escalate into litigation. Drawing on the numerous TTAB matters she’s handled over the course of her career, Jenna brings deep familiarity with the board’s procedures, strategic considerations and decision-making process.

Advising on complex real estate and renewable energy transactions

Jenna also counsels buyers, sellers, lenders and developers through sophisticated real estate transactions. She assists clients with purchase and sale agreements, title and survey review, due diligence, financing documentation and the real estate components of wind, solar and other renewable energy projects. Her transactional practice reflects the same practical, business-oriented approach that defines her litigation work.

Communicating with professionalism, securing optimal outcomes efficiently

Clients value Jenna’s responsiveness, straightforward communication, and commitment to resolving matters cost-effectively whenever possible. With experience as both an educator and adjunct professor of IP law, she explains complex legal issues in clear, understandable terms. Jenna always maintains a professional presence in negotiations, litigation and every client interaction.
