Ladas & Parry LLP

What Ladas & Parry LLP does

Ladas & Parry LLP is a U.S.-headquartered intellectual property law firm founded in 1870 and headquartered at 1040 Avenue of the Americas in New York, with additional offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, and the Washington, D.C. area, plus an affiliated UK entity (Ladas & Parry London Limited) and a domain services affiliate (LadasDomains LLC). The firm offers a comprehensive suite of IP legal services organized across 11 practice areas, including Patents & Utility Models, Trademarks & Brands, a Digital Brands Practice Group, U.S. and UK/EU Litigation, Copyright & Entertainment, Rights of Publicity & Privacy, IP Transactions, Trade Secrets, Product Design, and Ladas & Parry Watch Services. Its technology stack is built around the Ladas Exchange client portal for IP portfolio management and trademark watch services for infringement monitoring. Revenue is generated through professional services fees for legal representation, with no publicly disclosed pricing.

The firm serves a diversified client base across five verticals: Fashion & Apparel, Life Sciences & Pharmaceuticals, Finance & Insurance, Food & Beverage, and Mobile Technology, alongside individual inventors, startups, and other law firms. Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct client relationships, referrals, industry event participation (INTA, AIPPI, IPO, Fordham IP Conference), thought leadership content, and a sponsored writing competition (the Ladas Memorial Award). Competitive positioning rests on multi-jurisdictional attorney qualifications (U.S., UK, EU, India, China, Japan, Korea), sustained recognition in WTR 1000, IP Stars, and Super Lawyers rankings, and brand heritage dating back over 150 years. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or public-market events have been disclosed; the firm operates as a privately held limited liability partnership.
