One of the main features of our approach to the business of law practice is to operate, in most respects, without most of the overhead associated with traditional law practices. Accordingly, we are very willing to enter into "alternative" fee arrangements that can be customized for our clients' particular business and financial situations and needs. We are able to charge substantially lower fees than most other law firms, usually in the range of 30% to 50% less than fees charged for comparable work by many firms. We also routinely offer fixed fee, retainer and capped fee arrangements where the client's situation would be best served by them.
Our very experienced and highly capable attorneys are able to provide extremely cost-effective legal services of exceptional quality, on a par with those associated with a traditional law firm practices. We offer comprehensive legal services in U.S. and international patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property, and have the capability of serving the entire needs of clients seeking US and international protection for their technologies and businesses. Our attorneys have many years of experience in the procuring, maintenance and enforcement of all types of patents in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical devices and diagnostics, and life sciences fields, including dispute resolution, appeals and litigation such as patent enforcement and infringement actions. We are experienced in patent searching and landscape analysis, freedom to operate and patentability opinions, and licensing, partnering, acquisitions and other transactions.
We also provide general business and corporate legal counseling and consulting services, such as business formation, set-up, structuring, assistance with financing, and due diligence for acquisitions, technology transfer, joint venture and licensing transactions.
