David leveraged his decade-plus of focused experience in intellectual property litigation to develop a nuanced, multi-faceted defense strategy. He didn't just understand the legal precedent; he grasped the intricate engineering of our product, which was crucial. His recognition in Chambers for both Patent Law and Litigation is clearly well-deserved. Throughout the discovery process and subsequent negotiations, David was a steady, strategic partner. His professionalism and meticulous preparation were unwavering, and he communicated complex developments with clarity. The result was a highly favorable settlement that completely protected our market position.
