Exceptional Guidance Through a Complex Patent Dispute

When our biotech startup faced a high-stakes patent infringement claim from a larger competitor, we were understandably overwhelmed. Engaging Emily Rapalino at Goodwin was the best decision we made. Her deep, 16-year foundation in intellectual property litigation, specifically within the biotechnology and life sciences sector, was immediately apparent. Emily didn't just understand the legal nuances of our patent portfolio; she grasped the underlying science, which proved critical. Her strategic approach was meticulous. She guided us through every phase, from initial discovery to expert witness preparation, with a calm and decisive professionalism that instilled confidence in our entire team. The recognition she has received from Best Lawyers in Litigation - Patent is well-deserved and reflects the caliber of counsel she provides. Ultimately, Emily's expertise led to a highly favorable settlement that protected our core IP and allowed our company to move forward. For any complex IP or general commercial litigation matter in Boston, I cannot recommend Emily Rapalino more highly. She is a true advocate and an asset to her clients.
