Alberti Lim & Tonkovich LLP, an intellectual property litigation boutique representing patent owners in high-stakes disputes nationwide, has been named by Best Lawyers® a Regional Tier 2 firm in San Francisco for Litigation – Patent and Litigation – Intellectual Property in the 2027 edition of Best Law Firms®. Both rankings are up from Regional Tier 3 in the 2026 edition, and the firm has been recognized in Best Law Firms since 2023.

Best Law Firms rankings recognize firms for professional excellence, with consistently positive feedback from clients and peers. Rankings draw on client feedback, peer recommendations, interviews with law firm leaders, and information firms submit about the depth of their practice.

“Rankings like this one are earned as a team. No attorney is more important than the team.” said David Alberti, co-founding managing partner. “Our attorneys are not just skilled trial lawyers, they have the technical depth to understand the actual technology at issue in every case, and that understanding is what allows us to build strategies our opponents do not anticipate. Being recognized by our peers and by our clients tells us that the approach is working.” Russell Tonkovich, partner, added, “What sets us apart is the way we align our work with what our clients are actually trying to accomplish, whether that means a verdict or a favorable resolution short of trial, or a stronger patent portfolio going forward. We have built a team that brings genuine technical depth and litigation experience to every matter, and our clients feel the difference both in how the cases are handled and in the outcomes.”
