Practice Areas

We practice both intellectual property and business law because these two areas are very much interconnected.

 

Patents • Trademarks • Copyrights • Trade Secrets

Intellectual Property.

Our experienced intellectual property attorneys can help identify, manage, and protect your business's intellectual property assets; and enforce your intellectual property rights against infringers.

Just like real property and personal property, the legal system protects “intellectual” property. This includes inventions; business names and branding; secret formulas, processes, and production methods; and creative works such as illustrations, songs, photographs, poems, and sculptures.

Contracts • Licensing • Transactions • Litigation

Business.

Having experienced business lawyers on your team can help you preserve your legal rights, run your business more efficiently and enforce your rights through litigation when necessary.

Our experience includes entity formation, founding documents, fundraising, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, employment agreements and other contracts for small and mid-sized businesses. We also have deep experience representing business owners in disputes involving members, shareholders, vendors and investors.

We help you protect your business interests throughout each stage of business growth— from working with founders to secure financing and scale their business, to helping owners with business exits and transitions to future generations.

We’ll also help you protect one of your most valuable business assets; your intellectual property.

We know your inventions (i.e., patents) can give your business a monopoly for a limited time; your branding (i.e., trademarks) sets your business apart in the marketplace; your creative assets (i.e., copyrights) generate value for your business; and your proprietary information (e.g., trade secrets) gives your business an edge against competitors.

 
 

Patents.

Protect your new and useful inventions, including methods, devices, plants, designs, and software.

Trademarks.

Protect your branding, including business and product names, designs, slogans, and logos.

Copyrights.

Protect your creative works, including songs, illustrations, photographs, literature, and more.

Trade Secrets.

Protect your proprietary information, including secret methods, formulas, and discoveries.

 

Business.

Start, run, and grow your business as smoothly and profitably as possible. Or, devise a smart exit strategy.

Entertainment.

Know, protect, and enforce your rights when it comes to music, publishing, media, and the arts.

Litigation.

Resolve your intellectual property and business disputes efficiently, economically, and strategically.

Business and Succession Planning.

Create a solid foundation of legal, insurance, financial, and tax systems for your business.
