Finnegan Partner Doug “Chip” Rettew Receives 2019 Client Choice Award

For the third time in his career, Finnegan partner Douglas “Chip” Rettew received Lexology’s Client Choice Award for Intellectual Property—Trademarks in the District of Columbia. The Client Choice Award recognizes partners around the world who particularly stand out for their excellent client service.

Doug’s practice focuses on trademark, false advertising, and unfair competition litigation and disputes, and he is frequently touted as one of the nation’s top trademark lawyers. Doug also handles advertising issues and counseling, right-of-publicity matters, and trademark and copyright prosecution and licensing. His clients include Under Armour, Bridgestone, the NFL Players Association, Capital One, Subaru, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and PNC Bank.

According to one client, “His litigation and trial skills are unmatched; he brings a depth of business knowledge, expertise and collaboration.” Another client said, “Doug intimately understands the company’s needs; he is a trustworthy business partner.”

The Client Choice Award winners are selected based on a survey of in-house counsel subscribers to Lexology, feedback from several international in-house counsel events, and feedback via the Client Choice website. Clients are asked to rate individual lawyers and law firms on the following client service criteria: quality of legal advice, commercial awareness, industry knowledge, strategic thinking, billing transparency, tailored fee structures, value for money, responsiveness, effective communication, clarity of documentation, sharing of expertise, appropriate staffing, project management, use of technology, loyalty and ethics.
