Corporate and Finance

We help entrepreneurs establish new businesses from the ground up. As your company grows, we can handle its day-to-day legal affairs, including employment matters and contracts. When it comes time to raise capital, we can structure and negotiate angel and venture investments. We also represent investors, and in appropriate circumstances can leverage that experience to provide our clients with strategic advice and introductions.

With over thirty attorneys registered to practice in the US Patent and Trademark Office, we have prepared and prosecuted thousands of patent applications across a range of technologies and helped our clients establish strong brands through trademark applications. We can also help our clients capitalize on less expensive forms of IP protection, such as copyrights and trade secrets.

Commercial and IP Litigation

We represent telecommunication companies in disputes with competitors, customers, and former employees. Our technical experience is invaluable in effectively handling technology-related litigation.
