Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is an asset worth protecting. We proactively seek to protect our clients' intellectual property and pursue appropriate financial remedies for any misuse of their intellectual property.
When issues around intellectual property arise as part of a broader business transaction, such as a merger or an acquisition, or in a matter relating to information technology or property, for example, we provide equally clear and sound advice.
