Firm overview

Who We Are: Founded in October 2018, Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP (RJLF) boldly entered the market as a trial boutique with a national reach and an ambition to create a new standard for litigation firms. Focusing on high-stakes commercial litigation, intellectual property, and white collar disputes, the firm made national headlines for breaking away from many law firm traditions, including reinventing the practice of law without the billable hour in favor of fee arrangements that align client interests. RJLF also eliminated two other standard law firm features – the partnership track and lockstep compensation – in favor of systems that encourage attorneys to advance as quickly as their skills allow. The firm is committed to attracting and retaining the most elite talent in the legal industry and pays above market.

In another departure from industry norms, RJLF is truly diverse. The firm is majority women-owned, with 30% of its lawyers being racially and/or LGBTQ+ diverse. Since the firm’s launch, RJLF has been recognized in Law360’s annual “Glass Ceiling Report” for having more women equity partners than any other U.S. firm of its size. The firm also scored as the most gender diverse of all U.S. law firms in any size category, according to the percentage of women equity partners. RJLF was named a “Top Trial Boutique” and awarded “Silicon Valley Firm of the Year” for three consecutive years by Benchmark Litigation and recognized as an “Elite Boutique” by The National Law Journal.

Elite Talent Wins Cases: RJLF’s break from industry traditions obviously resonated with the market, as the firm’s size quickly expanded with marquee talent from several esteemed “Big Law” firms such as Finnegan Henderson; Hughes Hubbard & Reed; Allen & Overy; Morgan Lewis, & Bockius; and White & Case LLP, among many others.

Our attorneys are from the most prestigious clerkships, including the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit, the Federal Circuit, the 2nd, 6th, 7th, and 11th Circuits, and District Courts around the country, as well as prestigious law schools such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, Berkeley, NYU, and others. The firm’s lawyers have undergraduate and advanced technical degrees in diverse fields including electrical engineering, physics, computer science, computer networks, and biotechnology. RJLF’s lawyers have also been recognized as among the most accomplished trial lawyers by The American College of Trial Lawyers, Chambers USA, The Legal 500, The National Law Journal, Managing IP, and IAM Patent 1000: The World’s Leading Patent Practitioners, among many others.

Recent Achievements: Punching well above its weight, RJLF often goes toe-to-toe with some of the largest law firms in the world, including Skadden Arps, Morrison & Foerster, Gibson Dunn, and Baker Hostetler, among others. Highlights of the firm’s trial prowess and recent significant wins include:

Commercial Litigation: RJLF secured a precedent-setting victory on behalf of the CRA in the “gas ban on stoves” case against the City of Berkeley. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court’s ruling and held that Berkeley’s ban on natural gas hook-ups is preempted by federal law and therefore invalid. The case garnered extensive national attention from major news outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, and Reuters, among others.
Intellectual Property Litigation: RJLF won a landmark $673 million award for Kove IO in a patent infringement case against Amazon Web Services, which involved cloud storage technology. At the time, this victory was the largest patent win of 2024 and ranked as the ninth highest in the past decade. The court upheld a $525 million verdict and added $148 million in interest during post-trial motions.
White Collar Litigation: In an ultrarare price-fixing trial against the Department of Justice (DOJ), the RJLF trial team secured a complete defence verdict after two mistrials. The case stemmed from a high-profile grand jury indictment by the DOJ that charged 10 executives, including RJLF client Roger Austin, a former Vice President of Pilgrim’s Pride, alleging a price- fixing scheme in the $28 billion-per-year broiler chicken industry. The trial win earned the team Global Competition Review’s 2023 Behavioural Matter of the Year (Americas).

Pro Bono: RJLF is deeply committed to public interest litigation. We understand that our privilege of being trial lawyers naturally involves representing those in need, whether it’s high-profile impact litigation or a person who will be evicted from an apartment. We also collaborate and work side-by-side with our clients to develop targeted pro bono and community service programs. Our pro bono activities include handling cases involving civil rights, immigration, prison abuse, indigent defence, homelessness, and veterans’ issues, among others.

Dispute Resolution

Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg has quickly established itself as one of the country's premier litigation boutiques, earning national recognition for its intellectual property and commercial disputes practice while maintaining a distinctive trial-focused culture. Founded by veteran trial lawyers determined to build a different kind of litigation firm, Reichman Jorgensen has cultivated a reputation for handling high-stakes matters against some of the world's largest companies. Clients and peers alike point to the firm's ability to pair sophisticated litigation strategy with exceptional courtroom advocacy. One client, whose company is represented in a complex patent dispute involving a portfolio of high-tech patents, reports being "extremely pleased" with the firm's representation and praises its capabilities in intellectual property litigation. Another client adds, "They are already rock stars and can't think of anything they could do better."

The firm's intellectual property practice remains at the core of its acclaim. Silicon Valley-based Courtland Reichman continues to draw praise for both his strategic acumen and trial prowess. One client describes him as "the overall strategist for our case and the mastermind behind our litigation plan," adding that he is an excellent communicator who is deeply committed to advancing his clients' interests. Reichman has helped position the firm as a formidable force in patent litigation, building on a string of headline-grabbing victories that have elevated the firm's profile nationally.

Among the firm's most respected practitioners is DC's Christine Lehman, whose reputation in the patent bar continues to grow. One fellow litigator describes her as a "top-notch" ITC and patent litigator, noting that she is a "true patent litigator" with a strong technical background. Clients are equally enthusiastic, with one describing Lehman as "brilliant in client engagement and legal strategy and execution." Her work, including major patent trial victories alongside Reichman, has helped solidify the firm's standing among the country's leading intellectual property boutiques.

The firm’s broader bench also attracts strong client recognition. New York-based Michael Matulewicz-Crowley is described as the driving force behind a complex patent litigation, with particular praise for his communication, attention to detail and ability to master highly technical subject matter. In Washington, DC, Connor Houghton is commended for “outstanding legal strategy and insight” and for developing creative solutions that give clients leverage in complex disputes.

Beyond patent litigation, the firm continues to handle substantial commercial disputes. Atlanta-based Sarah Jorgensen continues to earn recognition for her strategic guidance and litigation expertise. One client describes her as an expert in navigating the complexities of litigation while helping clients manage risk and make informed decisions. Her leadership has helped drive the firm's growing presence in high-stakes commercial disputes, complementing its nationally recognized intellectual property practice.

What continues to distinguish Reichman Jorgensen is its combination of trial talent, technical sophistication, and entrepreneurial approach to litigation. Whether representing plaintiffs or defendants in complex patent disputes, advising clients through challenging commercial conflicts, or taking cases through verdict, the firm continues to attract praise for its strategic thinking, responsiveness, and results-driven advocacy. As one client puts it, “They are already rock stars.”
