Our Corporate and Commercial practice is as
varied as our client base. We advise domestic
and foreign companies across many industries,
including technology, manufacturing, consulting
and finance.
We act as general counsel for many of our clients
by advising them on company policies, strate-
gies and implementation, on commercial arrange-
ments, financing and complex transactions. Our
advice allows our clients to maximize the value
of their strategic relationships and the returns
on their R&D.
We have developed a particular strength in
cross-border transactions and structuring. We
advance our clients’ interests in their business
transactions by assisting with licensing of trade
secrets, software, patents or other technology,
by facilitating the formation of joint development
and strategic alliances, and by overseeing such
relationships. We also advise on employment and

ity, work-for-hire, and assignment of IP rights and
non-compete provisions.
