Our company faced a challenging situation where a former partner was claiming rights to content we had developed, creating a significant risk to a major project. We turned to Eric Stahl at Davis Wright Tremaine based on his strong reputation in communications and copyright law. His 16 years of experience, particularly in the nuanced field of media law, were immediately evident. He expertly navigated the intersection of contract law and First Amendment principles, providing a strategy that was both aggressive in protecting our interests and pragmatic in seeking a resolution. His recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Communications Law was well-earned; his analysis was sharp and his command of the legal landscape was total. The matter was resolved favorably without litigation, saving us considerable time and expense. If there was one minor critique, it would be that during the initial engagement phase, response times to emails could occasionally stretch to a full business day, though his team was always responsive. Overall, Eric’s deep expertise from the University of Washington and his focused practice in Seattle made him an invaluable asset. We have great confidence in him for any future media or intellectual property matters.
