In addition to a juris doctorate, Mrs. Burgk received a master’s in intellectual property law from Franklin Pierce Law Center one of the consistently, top ranked law schools in the nation for intellectual property law. She also studied copyright and entertainment law at Bond University in Queensland, Australia and has been able to draw on her experience as well as contacts she developed at the university to assist clients with international intellectual property matters.

Mrs. Burgk has experience working for a large, general practice law firm located in Boston, Massachusetts as well as a medium-sized IP boutique firm in Coral Gables, Florida and a small IP boutique firm in Stuart, Florida. Mrs. Burgk founded the Law Office of Leslie A. Burgk, P.A. in 2006.

 “Starting my own law practice has provided me the flexibility to choose the clients I represent and the ability to render legal services to my client’s in the manner I would expect as a client. I value my client’s businesses and will often take my own time to visit and learn about my clients’ businesses and view their day-to-day operations to ensure I understand the full extent of their intellectual property legal needs. If my schedule does not permit me to take on new matters, I will refer the matters to other attorneys before I compromise my commitment to existing clients.”

Mrs. Burgk has successfully represented clients before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board in opposition and cancellation proceedings. Mrs. Burgk recently negotiated a six-figure settlement agreement in state court litigation involving breach of a non-compete agreement. Her experience while employed with other law firms included a counterfeit trademark seizure, state court litigation involving trademark infringement, recovery of cartoon characters trapped in a defunct corporation, and the dismissal of federal court class action litigation against a client who was the assignee of a well-known trademark. She was also involved in patent litigation both asserting and defending claims of patent infringement and invalidity; one case resulting in a multi-million dollar verdict and settlement with a subsidiary of a fortune 100 company.
