Crown, LLP

My experience working with the team at Crown, LLP has been exceptional and invaluable. The team advised, encouraged, and facilitated establishing protective copyrights for my images. This was critically important for publicity, exhibitions, and other legal protections for my photography business. The work served to secure present and future access to my images without concern about legal complications. I feel incredibly grateful and appreciative for the informed counsel and expertise provided by Crown LLP. They were always responsive and supportive to my questions and concerns as we worked through complex issues. It was evident they had my best interests in the forefront of every decision. An excellent experience all around. Thank you Elizabeth and all at Crown!

I have sided with Elizabeth for over 6 years in a hard-fought war against “legal fake” operations – one of the many “clever” ideas counterfeiters have recently come up with to flood the market with knockoffs, trying and getting away with it – in Italy. And I must say that I’ve hardly had such a great connection with a foreign counsel: she is really brilliant and easily understands also things that work differently from the US, being always able to provide very valuable advice. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to getting to know her partner Owen, and the two of them together are an IP-force: I’d strongly recommend Crown for any IP matter in the USA, as well as for setting forth an effective brand protection strategy on a global scale.

Owen and Crown have provided me with timely and professional legal services, beyond what I expected, as I have proceeded with a new venture in the entertainment industry. As a longtime professional I know quality legal counsel when I see it, but I did not know the ins and outs of an industry that is new to me. Owen has assisted me with myriad copyright issues, including counsel and documentation relating to work-for-hire, licensing, and copyright registration, as well as counsel regarding best practices and just the way things are done in this area of commerce. From the start, I feel like Owen and Crown have been my silent partner in my endeavor. I’d recommend Owen, Elizabeth, and the Crown team to anyone pursuing a creative endeavor.

Crown®,LLP has provided the Almaden Valley Athletic Club® (AVAC®) with valuable legal counsel for many years. As a large health club with active gym, aquatics, tennis, group fitness, and personal training programs, servicing everyone from toddlers to seniors, Owen and Elizabeth have expertly and efficiently assisted us with the broad range of legal and business issues that arise, including membership documentation and issues, labor law matters, general business and operational issues, and intellectual property registration and protection. Crown® LLP was of particular assistance during the pandemic, while we maintained operations to the extent possible within the confines of the applicable health orders and moved more offerings online to service our membership. I highly recommend Crown®, Owen, and Elizabeth to anyone engaging in business in the fitness industry, or any business for that matter, and in need of expert and easy to work with legal counsel.
