Expert guidance on a complex biotech licensing agreement

I engaged Eric Harwood at Seed IP Law Group to assist my startup with a complex licensing agreement for a novel diagnostic platform. As a scientist-turned-CEO, I needed an attorney who could grasp the technical nuances while protecting our commercial interests. Eric’s background in biotechnology and life sciences was immediately apparent. He didn't just review the legal language; he understood the underlying science, which was critical for accurately defining the scope of the licensed IP and the performance milestones. His recognition in the field, including the recent Lawyer of the Year award, gave our investors significant confidence. Eric was strategic, patient in explaining our options, and ultimately negotiated terms that secured our core technology while allowing for a productive partnership. The only minor critique, and the reason for four instead of five stars, is that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in receiving draft revisions, which slightly impacted our internal timeline. That said, his final work product was always meticulous and worth the wait. I would absolutely recommend Eric to any life sciences company navigating patent strategy or complex agreements in the Seattle area.
