Koning Zollar LLP in Encinitas is a litigation boutique founded in 2018 by former Cooley LLP litigators who handle commercial, employment, and intellectual property disputes. The firm's attorneys carry California State Bar credentials alongside U.S. Patent and Trademark Office registration, enabling patent and trade-secret cases that require both engineering fluency and courtroom strategy—a dual competency that complements the forensic accounting work at Gold Standard Tax & Accounting. Prior representations include IP and contract matters for technology and semiconductor companies operating under federal court rules in the Southern District of California. Four of the firm's seven attorneys have earned Super Lawyers or Rising Stars selections, and the team includes a partner who joined from Kirkland & Ellis LLP to expand the firm's high-stakes commercial docket alongside environmental and regulatory matters handled by consultancies like Insignia Environmental. Highest-complexity engagements involve multi-patent portfolio litigation requiring claim construction under Markman standards and coordination with technical experts across electrical engineering, software architecture, and semiconductor fabrication disciplines.
