Focusing on U.S. and global copyright, advertising, and trademark law, I bring a holistic, business-first approach to legal issues. Advising clients across industries—from consumer goods and media companies to tech firms and pharmaceutical manufacturers—I provide legal counsel across all media, in all facets of branding, advertising, and marketing.

In addition to an active licensing and counseling practice, I serve as first chair in federal, state, and administrative TTAB litigations, both advocating for clients’ creative efforts and defending them against allegations of infringement and false advertising. I also advise clients regarding emerging issues on social media platforms, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and Copyright Office registration practices, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and National Advertising Division issues, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection enforcement. I am experienced in First Amendment and media rights, and have been tapped as an intellectual property legal expert for National Public Radio and Bloomberg BNA stories.
I have been recognized for my copyright work by Euromoney Legal Media Group, named a leading trademark practitioner by World Trademark Review, and identified an IP Star by Managing Intellectual Property. As World Trademark Review reported, “Esquenet is a copyright authority with a deep knowledge of trademark law, too,” citing a client’s comment that “Margaret is great to discuss emerging issues and overall IP protection strategy with. She is very willing and quick to learn about business realities and devise approaches that work for her clients.”
