Rachel Dalafave

Exceptional IP Counsel for a Complex Patent Dispute

I engaged Rachel Dalafave at Perkins Coie to handle a high-stakes patent infringement matter for my tech startup in Austin. While her profile indicates she is building her practice, her command of the intricate details of both intellectual property law and patent litigation was immediately apparent. It's clear why she has already received recognition in these specific fields. Rachel meticulously deconstructed our competitor's claims, guiding us through a strategic re-examination process with the USPTO. Her analysis was not only legally sound but also framed in practical business terms we could understand. Throughout the proceedings, her professionalism was unwavering—she was responsive, transparent about potential outcomes, and managed our expectations perfectly. The result was a favorable settlement that protected our core technology without the burden of protracted litigation. Rachel’s foundational training from Vanderbilt and her sharp, focused approach in these complex areas provided immense value. For any company in Texas navigating the treacherous waters of IP and patents, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
