Our Technology Law Group focuses on legal issues emerging from the growing technology sector. We represent plaintiffs and defendants in all phases of technology counseling and litigation, handling a wide variety of transactions and disputes involving e-commerce and Internet regulation rights of privacy and publicity, trade secrets, unfair competition, domain names, false advertising claims, and other intangible property interests. We also have experience in responding to hacker intrusion and other cybercrimes.
Our dispute practice includes trials, appeals and alternate dispute resolution proceedings, as well as matters addressed in administrative proceedings. The Group includes trial lawyers with experience handling complex technology cases. Trials are not always the answer, and we employ strategies that eliminate the need for litigation, successfully negotiating settlements, license agreements and other technology business arrangements consistent with the client's goals.
Our transactional experience includes the licensing, sale, acquisition, and secured financing of complex technology property rights and emerging Internet properties. We advise our clients in technology matters in a transactional context, such as the formation of a joint venture, the division of property rights or the acquisition or sale of an existing business. Drawing upon the significant expertise of the firm's Business Law Group we have represented clients in numerous corporate finance and merger and acquisition transactions that focus upon or involve technology matters.
