BEN RILEY RANKED BY CHAMBERS AS TOP CALIFORNIA LAWYER IN BOTH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND TRUST AND ESTATE LITIGATION

July 2021

Benjamin K. Riley, a principal and executive committee member of Bartko Bunzel & Miller, has received 2021 top California lawyer rankings from Chambers in two, disparate areas of litigation.

In May 2021, Chambers USA Lawyer Guide rated Mr. Riley as among the top 15 lawyers in California in Intellectual Property: Trade Secret, Trademark and Copyright Litigation.  Chambers comments that Ben is a “skilled litigator and a subject matter expert in various areas” as well as “a strong advocate and a smart strategist.” Riley has been ranked by Chambers in this Intellectual Property litigation category since 2019.

In July 2021, Chambers High Net Worth Guide ranked Mr. Riley as among the top 20 litigators in California for Private Wealth Disputes.  Chambers reports that “Ben is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, detail-oriented and practical in his approach to trust and estate disputes.  He operates with the utmost integrity.  Ben is also very unflappable, a trait which serves him well in the litigation context.  He just has this quiet efficiency about him that is very powerful.”  Mr. Riley and his team recently won a defense verdict after trial in the $250+ million Robert Naify trust matter.
