Rachel Klein is a Partner at Bronfman Law whose practice focuses on trademarks, brand protection, licensing, and intellectual property transactions. She works with companies that need practical guidance on selecting, clearing, registering, maintaining, and enforcing brands in the United States and abroad. Her work often includes coordinating trademark portfolio strategy with product launches, marketing plans, online sales, and distribution relationships.
Rachel helps clients build trademark programs that are organized, current, and aligned with business needs. She advises on clearance searches, application strategy, office action responses, renewals, assignments, coexistence issues, and portfolio audits. She also works with clients on enforcement steps involving online infringement, counterfeit goods, marketplace listings, social media accounts, domain names, and demand letters. Her approach is measured and business focused, with attention to risk, cost, and timing.
In transactions, Rachel drafts and reviews license agreements, trademark consent agreements, settlement terms, assignments, and intellectual property provisions in commercial contracts. She regularly supports due diligence for acquisitions, investments, vendor relationships, and brand collaborations. Her practice is part of the firm's broader Intellectual Property team, and she works with attorneys across the firm when trademark issues connect with software, data, platform terms, or other technology and privacy matters.
Clients value Rachel's clear writing, careful issue spotting, and steady communication. She aims to explain legal options in plain language so clients can make informed decisions about their brands. Whether a matter involves a new filing program, a license negotiation, a portfolio cleanup, or an infringement concern, Rachel helps clients protect brand assets while keeping the commercial context in view.
