Release

HOUSTON, July 12, 2023 – Baker Botts L.L.P., a leading international law firm, is pleased to announce that partner Natalie Gonzales has been named to the inaugural “Wonderful Women” list published by Lawyers of Color. The list recognizes dynamic women attorneys working in law firms, companies, and government agencies across the U.S. who show promise in their careers and demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing diversity in the legal profession.

Ms. Gonzales practices in all areas of intellectual property law, including patent and trade secret litigation, patent prosecution, and IP and technology transactions. She represents both patent owners and defendants in patent and trade secret litigation matters involving a variety of technologies and industries, including energy, life sciences, automotive, telecommunications, retail, financial services, e-commerce, and software. Her litigation experience also includes copyright infringement and Lanham Act actions, as well as contested matters in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, including inter partes reviews.

The honorees were chosen through a two-pronged process. A selection committee, composed of editorial staff, fellows and advisers, spent months reviewing nominations and researching legal publications in order to identify promising candidates. The committee also accepted nominations from mentors, peers, and colleagues. Editorial selections were made based on research of attorneys who had noteworthy accomplishments, giving special attention to candidates who were active in diversity pipeline initiatives.
