Background

About Jackie Stelling

I am the owner of JMS Legal – a boutique U.S-based IP practice created with a strong background working in-house for leading global CPG and pharma companies. Since launching my practice, I have continued to work with Fortune 500 companies as well as counseling start-ups, medium sized businesses and foreign law firms on US trademark matters, including trademark clearance, prosecution, and enforcement. I pride myself on being business and brand focused and solution oriented, while providing pragmatic legal advice. My firm has a "no surprise" and largely flat fee billing structure and competitive billing practice. I am also a co-founder and the current Co-Chair and Secretary of Brand Action a non-profit organization whose mission it is to bring the international trademark community together to support people in times of crisis. Since its inception in 2022, our 100% volunteer-run organization has raised over providing more than meals through World Central Kitchen to the people of Ukraine, Turkey, Syria, Mexico, Haiti and the U.S, more than worth of life-saving medical supplies and six ambulances for Ukraine and a 17-seater bus to transport children from remote villages in Benin, Africa to school. When not lawyering or engaging in philanthropic work, I am a proud mother of two wonderful kids, an avid runner, amateur photographer and frequent traveler. I earned my undergraduate degree from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and my law degree from The George Washington University School of Law.
