Areas of Practice
COPYRIGHT LITIGATION
We provide counseling to copyright owners and users alike regarding the complex issues often involved in the protection or use of copyright-protected content. When disputes arise, we represent owners and users in the resolution of those disputes. In many instances, we are able to resolve disputes through negotiations. When settlement is not possible, however, we often file and defend our clients against lawsuits alleging copyright infringement and other related claims.
LIABILITY & RISK
Whether you run a manufacturer, engineering firm or an eCommerce website, all businesses need to minimize their legal liability and risk. Our lawyers will assess the structure of your operation, such as its physical or digital space, the types of products you sell, who your consumers are, what type of company you have filed under (LLC, Inc, etc.), and so on. From there, we will tailor the right risk plan, complete with permit applications, insurance policies, and more, so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.
