Essential Counsel for Our Tech Startup's Complex Licensing Deal

Our company faced a critical juncture negotiating a high-stakes software licensing agreement with a major international distributor. The technical and legal complexities were daunting. We were referred to John Delaney at Perkins Coie, and it was the best decision we could have made. John's deep, two-decade focus on Information Technology Law was immediately apparent. He didn't just review the contract; he understood our technology's architecture and the business model it supported. His guidance was strategic, foreseeing issues around data sovereignty, IP protection, and service-level liabilities that we had completely overlooked. His calm, methodical approach from his Columbia Law-trained background turned a potential minefield into a solid, forward-looking partnership. It's no surprise he's consistently recognized as a leader in this field. John is more than a lawyer; he's a vital business advisor who secured our position and protected our most valuable assets.
