Douglas R. Nemec

Exceptional IP Litigator, Navigated Complex Patent Dispute

Our company engaged Douglas Nemec at Skadden to handle a high-stakes patent infringement matter involving our proprietary manufacturing technology. From our initial consultation, it was clear we were dealing with a specialist. His deep knowledge of patent litigation, which is clearly reflected in his Best Lawyers recognition, was immediately apparent. He didn't just understand the legal statutes; he took the time to grasp the intricate engineering details of our case, which was crucial. His strategic approach was methodical and forward-thinking. He successfully argued for a key claim construction that positioned us favorably, leading to a very advantageous settlement well before trial. Douglas is a formidable and insightful attorney who inspires confidence. The only minor critique, and the reason for four instead of five stars, is that during particularly intense phases of discovery, communication from his team could occasionally lag by a day or two. That said, when we did connect with Douglas directly, his analysis was always worth the wait. We would not hesitate to recommend him for any complex intellectual property litigation.
