Expert guidance through a complex contract dispute

I engaged Chad Fitzgerald at Kinsella Holley Iser Kump Steinsapir to handle a contentious breach of contract issue with a former business partner. The situation involved both commercial and intellectual property elements, as it pertained to the unauthorized use of proprietary software developed for our company. Chad's dual recognition in Commercial Litigation and IP Litigation was immediately evident. He provided a clear, strategic assessment of our position, explaining the nuances of California law in a way that was understandable without being simplistic. His background from UCLA Law and his firm's resources were clear assets throughout the process. Chad was particularly adept at navigating the pre-litigation negotiations, leveraging his understanding of both the legal and business stakes to secure a favorable settlement that protected our core IP. While his expertise is undeniable, there were occasional delays in email responses during particularly busy periods, which required a gentle follow-up. Overall, his focused approach saved us significant time and potential litigation costs. I would confidently recommend him for matters at the intersection of business and intellectual property law.
