Our mid-sized tech company faced a significant breach of contract and fiduciary duty claim from a former business partner. The situation was complex, with substantial financial and reputational stakes. We were referred to David Hume at Perkins Coie and are profoundly grateful for his counsel. David's deep knowledge of commercial litigation was immediately evident. He meticulously dissected the contractual history and communications, constructing a defense that was both strategically sound and pragmatically focused on our business continuity.
