Hannah M. Stitt

I am the founder and principal attorney of Tectonic Law PC, a San Francisco boutique that protects brands and reputations for businesses nationwide. Tectonic Law is recognized in the Chambers & Partners Spotlight California, Intellectual Property guide, and is a certified Women’s Business Enterprise. My practice covers trademark prosecution at the USPTO, opposition and cancellation proceedings at the TTAB, trademark and copyright litigation, and reputation disputes, including defamation and speech claims. I also serve as general counsel to select clients on contracts and corporate compliance.

I represent clients in the California Superior Courts, the Central, Eastern, Northern, and Southern Districts of California, the USPTO, the TTAB, and in UDRP proceedings. My clients often operate in rapidly changing, heavily regulated industries, including cannabis, FinTech and blockchain, and artificial intelligence. I prioritize early investigation and legal research so that disputes can be resolved before they escalate.

I have been a Northern California Super Lawyers Rising Star each year since 2019. I serve on the Executive Committee of the California Lawyers Association’s Intellectual Property Law Section (appointed 2025), and I joined University of California Law San Francisco as an adjunct professor in the IP Department in 2026. From 2018 to 2022, I served on the Ethics Committee of the International Cannabis Bar Association.
