Exceptional guidance through a complex patent litigation matter

When our company faced a high-stakes patent infringement lawsuit, Michael Chu was our first call. His 33 years of deep experience in patent law, particularly litigation, was immediately evident. He masterfully guided our strategy, from initial opinions through the complexities of discovery. His recognition in intellectual property and patent litigation is well-deserved. Michael is not only a brilliant legal mind but also a pragmatic counselor who explained every step clearly. The positive resolution he secured was a direct result of his expertise and steady hand.
