This year Heslin Rothenberg Farley & Mesiti P.C. celebrates its 50th Anniversary. The firm, based in Albany and Rochester, is proud to have earned the confidence of our clients over five decades by providing knowledgeable legal advice and exceptional service. Having grown to nearly 30 attorneys and patent agents and more than 70 employees, the firm has become the largest law firm in upstate New York dedicated exclusively to intellectual property law and related litigation.

This year Nick Mesiti who was elected to a second term as the firm’s President and Managing Partner, stated “we could not be prouder of what we have accomplished as a firm over the past 50 years, and we have confidence that we will continue our outstanding service to our clients throughout the country and around the world.”

The firm has received national recognition in the area of Intellectual Property Law and has been listed among the “Top Patent Firms” and “Top Trademark Firms” in Intellectual Property Law Today.  The firm was ranked fourth in the nation among the Top Patent Firms in patent applications relating to Computer Architecture Software and Information Security by Juristat.
