Maschoff Brennan Achieves Top Chambers USA Ranking with Five Partners Honored First-Time National Rankings for Sherman Kahn and International Arbitration

Maschoff Brennan has again been recognized as a leading intellectual property firm in Utah. The Chambers & Partners 2026 USA Guide to Intellectual Property: Utah awarded Maschoff Brennan its highest ranking (Band 1),  and describes the attorneys at our firm as having “strong legal acumen” and the ability to “respond to the most difficult legal questions”.  Band 1 rankings represent the highest level of recognition awarded by Chambers, reserved for firms demonstrating exceptional legal expertise and client service.

Clients interviewed by Chambers noted that Maschoff Brennan has "top-caliber attorneys working in a focused and committed firm. They are unmatched in the level of service they provide and their willingness to dig into your business and become part of the team.”  Others remarked "These are some of the smartest patent lawyers in the country; their knowledge of patents and IP in general allows them to manage the most complex situations."

Those who received individual recognition from Chambers in their 2026 Intellectual Property, Utah rankings are:

• Richard Gilmore, Partner

• Kirk Harris, Partner

• Burns Israelsen, Partner

• Eric Maschoff, Partner

Separately, the firm earned national recognition in the 2026 USA – Nationwide rankings for International Arbitration: Arbitrators

• Sherman Kahn, Partner

Sherman Kahn’s inclusion in the 2026 USA Nationwide ranking for International Arbitration: Arbitrators marks a significant milestone for the firm. This highly selective category recognizes only a small group of practitioners nationwide entrusted with complex, high-stakes disputes. His recognition signals both individual distinction and the firm’s expanding capabilities beyond its traditional regional base. It also underscores Maschoff Brennan’s growing national reputation for handling sophisticated intellectual property and technology-driven matters, including cross-border disputes.

We are proud of the recognition Chambers and our clients gave to the firm and these five exceptional attorneys and invite you to learn more about our firm’s rankings and offerings in our profile at chambers.com.
