I engaged Christine McLellan at Skadden to assist my tech startup with a critical software licensing agreement. While her firm profile indicates a general practice, her deep focus on Intellectual Property Law was immediately evident and precisely what we needed. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field gave us great confidence. Christine demonstrated a sharp understanding of the nuances in protecting our proprietary code while structuring favorable commercial terms. She was meticulous in her review, identifying several potential pitfalls in the draft that we had completely overlooked. Her advice was not only legally sound but also strategically practical for our business stage. The one area where our experience wasn't perfect was in initial response times; given the demands at a firm like Skadden, there were occasional delays in getting a callback during the early engagement phase. However, once she was on the matter, her attention was complete. For navigating the high-stakes IP landscape in New York, her expertise from NYU Law and her recognized standing are invaluable. We achieved a strong, protective agreement and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for similar IP-driven transactional work.
