Our attorneys counsel clients in connection with complex business transactions, the formation of long-term relationships, and the licensing, purchase and sale of technology. We provide intellectual property opinions for public offerings and securities filings. We review and draft franchise agreements, publishing contracts, royalty agreements, and employment contracts relating to protection of inventions, trade secrets, and other intellectual property. We review our clients' business practices, and recommend contracts that will help them achieve their business objectives. For example, if a client relies on custom software, we verify they have the rights they thought they were buying and prepare contracts that remedy the deficits we find. If they have a website, we create contracts that protect its ownership and we prepare Terms of Use that enhance protection against competitive misuse.

We know our client's industries, and apply practical business judgment to assist them in identifying their needs and achieving their goals, maximizing the return on their investment.
