Expert guidance on a complex software licensing agreement

Our company was navigating a high-stakes software licensing deal with a major international partner. We needed counsel who understood both the intricate legal framework and the underlying technology. Manuel Valcarcel was recommended for his deep expertise in technology transactions, and he exceeded every expectation. Drawing on his nearly three decades of experience, he meticulously reviewed the agreement, identifying significant risks in the IP ownership and liability clauses that we had completely overlooked. His background as a registered patent attorney was invaluable. He didn't just point out problems; he crafted clear, strategic revisions that protected our interests while keeping the deal on track. His recognition in technology and communications law is well-deserved. The transaction closed successfully, and we have since engaged him for ongoing IP portfolio management. Exceptional professionalism and results.
