Award Winning Trademark & IP Attorney Zara Watson

ZARA WATSON YOUNG

CO-FOUNDER, ATTORNEY AT LAW

Six-time Super Lawyers Rising Star. Top 2.5% of New York attorneys. 99.3% success rate against an industry average of 50%.

Zara left a corporate legal career in 2017 to work directly with founders. Over a thousand trademarks later, across every industry and all 50 states, her clients include some of the most recognized brands in the online business space.

Founders who work with her say the same things. That she treated their case like it was the only one on her desk. That what felt unwinnable wasn't. That working with her felt less like hiring a lawyer and more like having the right person finally in their corner.

Today, Zara focuses her practice on trademark strategy, brand protection, and intellectual property enforcement. She advises founders on brand naming and launch strategy, and represents brands in disputes, infringement matters, and cease and desist actions.

    Team Watson and Young is a true life-saver and a serious competitive advantage for any entrepreneur or brand builder. Zara and Sean bring a rare blend of professionalism, strategic intelligence, and deep expertise in branding and trademark law.

  • ROSIE'S ASSISTANT

    I had the pleasure of working with Zara from Watson & Young, and I count be more impressed. She is extremely professional knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what she does. Zara took the time to explain every step of the trademark process clearly and answered all of my questions right away.

  • BROOKE YANTZI

    Watson and Young was an incredible experience. From start to finish they led the way to getting the Trademark for my dance company and I am forever grateful. They communicated so well, made it very clear and easy for me to take the steps and my trademark was approved in 9 months! Very professional. Thank you!

  • GLORIA OF BETTER EYESIGHT

    I appreciate very much the high level of attention to detail that Watson & Young provided when filing for two business trademarks. Their professionalism and expertise is unparalleled. I have worked with numerous attorneys over the years, and this level of quality is rare, to say the least. They were able to secure a trademark which I had tried unsuccessfully to obtain 35 years earlier.

  • SHONELLE COLLINS

    After doing much research and speaking with a few other lawyers, I didn’t feel I had found the right person to help me with my brand until I met Zara. During our meetings, Zara truly put me at ease and made me feel supported! She is super professional — knowledgeable, organized, detail-oriented, honest, and responsive.
