Kramer LLP is pleased to announce that partner Safraz Ishmael has been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for his work in Litigation – Patent Law. Now in its 33rd year, The Best Lawyers in America selects every recognized attorney through its Purely Peer Review® methodology, a process that begins with a nomination submitted by someone other than the attorney under consideration, followed by confidential evaluations from currently recognized lawyers practicing in the same field and region. The distinction reflects Mr. Ishmael’s standing among the nation’s leading patent litigators and his record representing inventors, technology companies, and life sciences clients in complex disputes before federal district courts, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the Federal Circuit.

The Best Lawyers recognition joins a series of honors Mr. Ishmael has earned within the legal community in recent months, including a Chambers and Partners ranking in intellectual property litigation. Mr. Ishmael, who helped establish Kramer LLP’s Boston office, handles matters spanning AI-powered systems, wireless communications protocols, biomedical devices, and semiconductor manufacturing. “Recognition like this comes from the people who see the work up close, and that is what makes it meaningful to me,” said Mr. Ishmael. “I am grateful to the colleagues who nominated me and to the clients who have trusted us with matters that shape their businesses. Any credit here belongs in large part to the team around me at Kramer LLP, because patent litigation of this caliber is never the product of one person.”

“Peer recognition of this kind tells you something that marketing never can, and what it tells you about Safraz is exactly what we see every day,” said Rob Kramer, Managing Partner of Kramer LLP. “The lawyers who vote in this process are the same lawyers who face our attorneys across the table, and they know the difference between competence and elite talent. Safraz sits firmly in the second category, and he is one of many at this firm who do. That is the standard we built Kramer LLP around, and honors like this one confirm we are meeting it.”
