Litigation
While the practice is centered on software licensing and business litigation, clients always have general business issues such as commercial transactions, real estate, employment law and corporate law. We provide advice and litigation support on these types of issues. If there are areas that we are unable to provide assistance, we can locate attorneys that can. Because we understand the client needs and can work with attorneys, we can act as a liaison between the client and a specialist.
We work on cases from drafting complaints and answers, to filing pleading motions, seeking writs of attachment, injunctions, discovery, summary judgment motions, trials and appeals.
Following are a few examples of typical cases from our case files:
