Craig C. Martin, Chairman, Americas, has again been recognized in the 2025 edition of the IAM Strategy 300, an annual guide to the world’s leading intellectual property strategists.
A top trial lawyer and business leader, Craig was recognized among the go-to practitioners who excel in developing and implementing strategies that maximize the value of IP portfolios.
IAM noted that Craig is highly regarded as a “courtroom to boardroom lawyer” adept at handling his clients’ most critical strategic, reputational and economic issues. His practice includes representing major corporations in antitrust and patent litigation, as well as advising industrial and technology leaders on global IP strategies.
“He has led as trial lawyer in federal courts nationwide and represented clients in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit,” IAM noted. “His collaborative approach and expertise in IP portfolio management have led to a series of litigation successes across the U.S. and EU.”
Craig, a member of Willkie’s Executive Committee, led the opening of the firm’s Chicago office in March 2020 and quickly established it as a market leader, building a team of more than 100 attorneys across a broad platform.
