Creative Expression, Science, Technology, and Complex Systems Litigation


Experience

Clients sometimes find themselves confronting unusual, complex litigation matters, often but not always involving science, medicine, technology, or the commercialization of ideas or their expression. These matters call for litigation counsel with the specific knowledge, experience and capacity to zero in on the central issues and develop an effectively targeted litigation strategy that makes the most business sense for the client. In this type of litigation, more than good analysis and planning are necessary. Effective counsel has the ability to prosecute strategy through to conclusion at trial while protecting the client’s reputation and brand sensitivities. Maximizing litigation outcomes — from early disposition, settlement or trial — requires a thorough understanding of the technical subject matter and application of sound decision-making principles, including probability/magnitude risk assessments at critical points in the litigation process.

We frequently handle complex scientific, medical and technical litigation in many sectors, including copyright infringement, information security breach, and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act matters, as well as complex biotechnology/pharmaceutical litigation, medical malpractice and product liability matters. We also have extensive experience litigating patent infringement and trade secret matters.
