Prestigious, Peer-Reviewed Listing Recognizes Baxter, Boyle, and McConnell

Three Boyle Fredrickson attorneys-shareholders Keith Baxter, Jim Boyle and Andy McConnell-have been included in the 2010 edition of “The Best Lawyers in America” in the specialty of Intellectual Property Law.

He is a member of the firm’s Board of Directors.

Boyle earned both his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and his law degree from Marquette University. He has been an active leader in several professional and community service organizations. He sits on the National Advisory Council of the Marquette University College of Engineering and is also a frequent lecturer on topics such as patent protection.

His practice emphasizes prosecution, counseling, licensing and dispute resolution in patent and trademark matters. He is also a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Bar Association, the American Bar Association and the American Intellectual Property Law Association.
