Expert guidance on a complex software licensing dispute

I engaged Jane Eckels at Davis Wright Tremaine to assist my tech startup with a contentious software licensing and copyright infringement claim. From our first meeting, it was clear Jane’s recognition in Technology Law and Litigation - Intellectual Property was well-earned. She possesses a rare combination of deep technical understanding and sharp legal strategy. Her background from The University of Michigan Law School and her eight years of focused practice in Seattle’s tech ecosystem were invaluable. Jane expertly navigated the nuances of copyright law, crafting a defense that addressed both the legal and business implications, which was crucial for our small company. Her analysis was thorough, and her calm, confident demeanor provided much-needed reassurance during a stressful period. We achieved a highly favorable settlement that protected our core IP. The only minor critique, and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is that during the busiest phases, communication could sometimes lag by a day. However, when she did respond, the depth and quality of her counsel were always exceptional. I would confidently recommend Jane to any business facing complex IP or technology-related legal challenges.
