IP Counseling and Transactions

Intellectual property poses unique and difficult challenges for businesses, and the firm’s attorneys possess the skill and knowledge to help clients navigate through these challenges and provide valuable input every step of the way.

Our attorneys work closely with clients to thoroughly understand their business needs and goals, identify opportunities and threats, and then develop strategies to enable our clients to cost-effectively accomplish their objectives, minimize their risk, protect and potentially monetize its intellectual property assets, and exploit opportunities.

We negotiate licenses, assignments or other intellectual property agreements, such as confidentiality, non-compete, and non-solicitation agreements.  Our deep knowledge of substantive intellectual property law and extensive experience with a wide spectrum of intellectual property challenges and underlying technologies allows us to efficiently address issues of all types and scopes.

The firm also provides freedom-to-operate opinions as appropriate to resolve ambiguity and manage risks and performs supporting non-infringement and invalidity analyses.

Additionally, our lawyers have successfully protected their clients’ interests in the context of a myriad of business deals, including research and development and joint venture agreements, outsourcing, mergers, and acquisitions.  Our firm is characterized by its agility, and is well-adapted to fulfilling the unique intellectual property due diligence needs of parties to such corporate transactions.  We understand the frequent time-sensitivity of deal work and, when needed, we work around the clock to meet our clients’ business needs.

We have substantial experience supporting major acquisitions and equals or exceeds the quality of analysis and turnaround-time of much larger law firms at a fraction of the cost.
