Competent on IP dispute, but communication was inconsistent

Eric Franz at Davis Wright Tremaine handled a software licensing dispute for my small tech firm. His background in intellectual property litigation was evident, and his analysis of the contract was sharp. He is clearly knowledgeable, as his recognition in that field suggests. However, the experience was mixed. While the legal work was solid, there were periods where responses to emails took longer than expected, and some procedural steps weren't communicated as proactively as I would have liked. For straightforward matters, he is capable, but you may need to manage expectations around client communication flow.
