Litigation

Intellectual Property Litigation

Intellectual property can be among the most valuable assets belonging to individuals and companies. We provide the care and protection those assets deserve. Our experienced intellectual property litigators handle matters involving trade secrets, confidential information, false advertising, unfair competition and infringement. We represent plaintiffs and defendants, which gives us a broad perspective on both sides of these matters. In preparing for trial, we often collaborate with our intellectual property shareholder who holds advanced degrees in science and technology.

LITIGATION PRACTICE AREAS

Not all cases need to go to trial.

Oftentimes, client goals can be accomplished through mediation, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution or settlement. And, many of these cases are decided at the temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction stage. In all of these situations, we have the experience and ability to prepare cases with speed, efficiency and precision.
