LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2024 – Knobbe Martens is pleased to announce that partner Brian Horne has been recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal as a 2024 Leader of Influence: Litigators & Trial Attorneys. According to the Business Journal, attorneys selected for this list are “the very best litigators and trial attorneys in the region” who are “chosen based on a demonstration of impact made on the profession and on the Los Angeles community.”
Mr. Horne, who is managing partner of the firm’s Los Angeles office, was recognized for his track record of leading trial teams that have won more than $1 billion cumulatively on behalf of clients. Last month, Mr. Horne was part of the team from the firm that successfully represented renowned German artist Christopher Bauder in a trial before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board—a case that garnered recognition in the Am Law Litigation Daily’s “Litigator of the Week” contest.

Mr. Horne has been with Knobbe Martens for over two decades, where he sits on the Litigation committee and co-chairs the firm’s trade-secret and trademark litigation practices.
A thought leader in the legal industry, Mr. Horne is regularly quoted in the legal and IP media on high-profile litigation matters and broader industry trends. He recently spoke with Law360 and Managing IP on the U.S. Supreme Court’s impending review of a key trademark decision. Earlier this year, Bloomberg Law quoted Mr. Horne on the impact of a high-profile trademark case playing out in the California Central District.
