Expert IP Litigator with a Practical Approach

I engaged Amanda Tessar at Perkins Coie to handle a complex software patent infringement dispute for my tech startup. With 24 years of experience, her deep knowledge in Intellectual Property and Patent Litigation was immediately evident. She didn't just recite legal theory; she broke down the intricate technical aspects of our case into a clear, strategic narrative that was persuasive both in settlement discussions and, when necessary, in court. Her recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved, reflecting the respect she commands in the Denver legal community. Amanda is a formidable advocate who genuinely cares about her clients' business outcomes, not just the legal win. The only reason for a 4-star instead of a 5-star rating is that, during particularly intense phases of litigation, communication could sometimes have a brief lag as she was deeply focused on casework. That said, her thoroughness and the quality of her counsel were never in question. For any business facing high-stakes IP litigation in Colorado, she is an outstanding choice.
