Alston & Bird’s Zack Higbee and Dan O’Connor, partners in the firm’s Intellectual Property Group, have been recognized as IP Rising Stars in 2024 by Managing Intellectual Property. It’s the fourth straight year they’ve earned the distinction as top up-and-coming IP lawyers in private practice.
The accolades mark the publication’s latest award for Alston & Bird’s IP team. In June, 16 partners were honored as 2024 IP Stars, three of the firm’s IP practices were ranked nationally, and two practices merited statewide recognition.
Managing Intellectual Property bases its designation of Rising Stars on client and peer recommendations and research from over 70 jurisdictions across the world.
