We engaged Bill Stark at Greenberg Traurig to navigate a complex partnership agreement for our new competitive gaming league. His deep, 21-year background in litigation and specific focus on the video game industry were immediately apparent. He didn't just review the contract; he understood the unique commercial dynamics of esports, from content rights to player contracts, and anticipated issues we hadn't considered. His recognition in commercial litigation is well-deserved. The process was thorough, and his advice was strategic and practical. While his expertise is top-tier, the billing structure for a firm of this caliber can be a significant consideration for smaller companies in our space. Overall, Bill provided invaluable counsel that was crucial for protecting our venture.
