Protecting Innovation Worldwide
MC Law is a premier intellectual property law firm serving Fortune 500 companies, innovative startups, universities, and individual inventors across the globe.
Why Choose MC Law?
For nearly a decade, MC Law has stood at the forefront of intellectual property law, representing clients whose innovations have transformed industries and improved lives around the world. We are not merely attorneys—we are strategic partners who understand that your intellectual property represents the culmination of years of research, investment, and creative vision.
A Firm Built on Specialized Excellence
In an era where many law firms spread themselves thin across dozens of practice areas, MC Law has chosen a different path. Since our founding in 2015, we have maintained an unwavering focus on intellectual property law—and that focus has made all the difference. Every attorney, paralegal, and staff member at MC Law works exclusively on IP matters, building expertise that general practice firms simply cannot match.
This specialization translates directly into superior outcomes for our clients. Our litigation group has secured significant outcomes and settlements for clients facing infringement and for clients enforcing their rights. And our trademark practice manages portfolios containing more than numerous active registrations worldwide.
When you work with MC Law, you are not getting a generalist who occasionally handles IP cases. You are getting a dedicated specialist who lives and breathes intellectual property law every single day.
"Excellence in intellectual property law requires more than legal knowledge—it demands a deep understanding of innovation itself. At MC Law, we do not just protect patents; we protect the dreams of inventors and the futures of companies."
— Casey Scott McKay, PartnerTechnical Fluency That Sets Us Apart
Intellectual property law, particularly patent law, operates at the intersection of legal doctrine and cutting-edge technology. Understanding this intersection requires attorneys who can speak both languages fluently. At MC Law, more than 75% of our attorneys hold degrees in scientific or engineering disciplines. .
Many of our attorneys worked as researchers, engineers, or scientists before entering law. They have conducted laboratory experiments, written code, and developed commercial products. This firsthand experience with innovation allows them to grasp complex technical concepts quickly, communicate effectively with inventors and R&D teams, and craft patent claims that capture the full scope of an invention while withstanding the most rigorous examination.
Global Protection for Global Innovation
Innovation knows no borders, and neither does infringement. Protecting intellectual property effectively requires a coordinated global strategy—one that accounts for varying legal frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, and business environments across different jurisdictions. MC Law has built a worldwide network specifically designed to deliver this kind of comprehensive protection.
With clients across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, we can manage multi-jurisdictional portfolios efficiently and cost-effectively. Our attorneys have practiced before patent and trademark offices around the world, and we maintain deep relationships with trusted local counsel in more than forty additional countries.
A Client-Centered Philosophy
At MC Law, we reject the transactional mindset that characterizes too many law firm relationships. We believe that truly effective IP counsel requires deep understanding—of your technology, your business model, your competitive landscape, and your strategic objectives. That is why we invest significant time at the outset of every engagement learning about our clients operations, goals, and challenges.
