Southfield, Mich., September 21, 2011 – Brooks Kushman P.C. is pleased to announce it is expanding its trademark practice with the addition of Robyn Lederman in the firm`s Southfield, Michigan headquarters. Lederman returns to the growing intellectual property law firm where she previously was an Associate. As a part of the copyright, trade secret, and trademark groups, Robyn will focus on advising clients on global branding strategy, trademark and domain name counseling, clearance, protection, and enforcement.
