Laurent Massam

Expert IP guidance for our software licensing deal

Our company engaged Laurent Massam at Gowling WLG for a complex software licensing agreement with a major international partner. While Laurent is based in Toronto, his cross-border expertise was invaluable for our San Antonio-based tech firm. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Intellectual Property Law was immediately evident in his strategic approach. He didn't just review the contract; he provided a comprehensive analysis of the IP ownership clauses, data security provisions, and jurisdictional enforcement issues that we hadn't fully considered. His advice was pragmatic and focused on protecting our core algorithms while enabling the business relationship. The one area where we experienced minor delays was in receiving draft revisions during the final negotiation phase, which added a couple of days to the timeline. However, the quality of the final work product was exceptional. Laurent's deep knowledge of intellectual property law transformed a standard agreement into a robust framework that safeguards our innovations. We feel confident moving forward with this partnership, thanks to his thorough and insightful counsel.
