Our attorneys have advised clients on all phases of their technology-based businesses. Our representation focuses on maintaining our client's flexibility in a rapidly changing business environment. We have guided clients in all stages of the capital formation process, including through public and private debt and equity financing transactions. We have also represented these clients in growth and divestiture transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, purchases and sales of assets, joint ventures and strategic alliances. In this regard, we have represented buyers, sellers, investors, shareholders and boards of directors.

As attorneys for technology-based companies, we recognize the importance of proprietary information. We have advised clients on strategies for developing and protecting the intellectual property that is critical to their businesses. Our services to clients in this area include drafting and negotiating software license agreements, web page design and implementation agreements, hardware and software acquisitions and leases, domain name acquisitions and transfers and vendor agreements. We also guide clients in the important areas of planning for future financing transactions (including public offerings), attracting and retaining skilled employees and corporate governance matters. Our technology-based practice includes clients in the biotechnology, Internet, software development and telecommunications industries.
