Skilled and strategic counsel for a complex business matter

I engaged Eric Werlinger at Katten for a sensitive matter that sat at the intersection of potential contractual disputes and regulatory scrutiny. While my case didn't escalate to full-blown litigation, his recognized background in both Appellate Practice and White-Collar Defense was invaluable. He approached the situation with the strategic foresight of someone who prepares every case as if it will be appealed, meticulously analyzing the patent-related aspects of our contracts that others had overlooked. His advice was pragmatic and clearly grounded in his substantive legal knowledge, which gave our leadership team significant confidence. The one area where we experienced slight friction was in the cadence of communication; during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses that required a follow-up. That said, when we did connect, his attention was completely focused and his guidance was precise. For navigating complex, multi-faceted legal issues in the DC area, Eric provides a formidable and thoughtful approach. His recognition by Best Lawyers in such distinct fields is clearly well-earned.
