A Lifeline in a Complex Software Licensing Dispute

When our company faced a high-stakes dispute over a software licensing agreement that threatened our core operations, we turned to Samuel Lewis. His deep, three-decade focus on technology law was immediately apparent. He didn't just understand the legal framework; he grasped the intricate technical nuances of our platform, which was crucial. Samuel's background, from his education to his specific recognition in Technology and Information Technology Law, gave us immense confidence. He expertly navigated us through both the litigation threats and the transactional complexities of renegotiating the agreement. His strategy was not merely defensive but strategically proactive, securing terms that protected our intellectual property far more robustly than before. The outcome was not just a resolution, but a significantly improved, future-proof contract. Working with Samuel at Cozen O'Connor was a masterclass in combining legal acumen with practical business sense. For any Florida-based business dealing with internet or technology-related legal challenges, his expertise is simply invaluable.
