Technology Contracts Litigation

Successful resolution of technology related disputes requires lawyers who understand technology. Our deep understanding of a wide range of technologies enables us to serve clients in commercial disputes in a variety of industries, including banking, consumer products, energy, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, software, information technology, transportation, and utilities. Many of our attorneys hold degrees in computer science, electrical engineering, physics, biology, chemistry and other relevant fields.

Whether you are a multinational corporation, mid-sized company, or emerging business, our team will gain an understanding of your business objectives and seek to achieve an amicable solution if possible. And, in those instances where an amicable resolution cannot be achieved, we develop persuasive trial themes that present complex technology and disputed facts in a straightforward and compelling manner.

Using that approach, we have compiled a track record of achieving favorable outcomes for our clients through settlement or by verdict, in federal and state courts, foreign jurisdictions and before arbitration panels.
