We are proud to share that four of our distinguished attorneys in Ohio have been named to the 2025 edition of World Trademark Review (WTR) Global Leaders, an honor reserved for only 14% of individuals ranked in the WTR 1000.

• Jim Dimitrijevs (Cleveland) has been recognized as a Global Leader for seven consecutive years, while Karen Gaunt (Cincinnati) make the list for the sixth year, a testament to their enduring excellence in trademark law.
• Grant Monachino (Cleveland) earns his second consecutive recognition (2024–2025), highlighting his growing influence in the field.
• April Besl (Cincinnati) joins the ranks for the first time in 2025, a powerful indicator of her continued impact in trademark law.

WTR Global Leaders identifies the “best of the best” in trademark, drawing from the WTR 1000 and WTR 300 research projects. WTR carefully weighs attorney experience and the direct endorsement of clients and foreign counsel to recognize leading practitioners.

As a firm, Dinsmore has also been recognized in multiple editions of the WTR 1000 for the sophistication and depth of our national practice.
