Exceptional Patent Counsel for a Complex Licensing Dispute

Our company faced a high-stakes patent licensing negotiation that threatened to derail a critical product launch. We engaged Matthew Rizzolo at Ropes & Gray based on his strong reputation in the D.C. legal community. His deep, practical knowledge of patent law was immediately evident. Matthew expertly guided us through the intricacies of the agreement, identifying potential pitfalls we had completely overlooked. He was not just a legal advisor but a strategic partner, balancing aggressive protection of our IP with a pragmatic approach to reaching a deal. His professionalism under pressure and clear communication were invaluable. The recognition he has received from Best Lawyers is well-deserved. Thanks to Matthew’s expertise, we secured favorable terms and launched on schedule. I recommend him without reservation.
