A seasoned and strategic intellectual property litigator

Our company faced a high-stakes patent infringement dispute that threatened a core product line. We engaged Edward Poplawski at Alston & Bird based on his long-standing reputation in the Los Angeles legal community and his specific recognition in patent litigation. With over four decades of experience, his strategic foresight was immediately apparent. He didn't just react to the other side's motions; he built a comprehensive narrative around our intellectual property's validity, leveraging his deep technical understanding to guide our expert witnesses. His background, including the recent 'Lawyer of the Year' acknowledgment, gave us immense confidence. The matter was resolved favorably through a negotiated settlement that protected our interests completely. The only slight critique, and why this is a 4-star review, is that during the most intense phases, communication from his direct office could occasionally lag a day behind our urgent requests, though his associate team was always responsive. Overall, Mr. Poplawski's expertise from Villanova to the courtroom is exactly as advertised—formidable and results-oriented.
