I engaged Sarah A. Childs at Kirkland & Ellis during a critical juncture for my tech startup. A competitor had filed a lawsuit alleging trade secret misappropriation and patent infringement, a situation that threatened our core operations and market position. Despite her relatively recent admission to the bar, Ms. Childs demonstrated a command of intellectual property law that was immediately reassuring. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Intellectual Property Law was evident in her strategic approach. She meticulously deconstructed the plaintiff's claims, coordinating seamlessly with technical experts to build a robust defense. Her background in commercial litigation was invaluable as she navigated the pre-trial discovery process, which was particularly aggressive. Ms. Childs maintained a clear, steady line of communication, explaining complex legal strategies in practical business terms. Her professionalism under pressure was notable, and she worked tirelessly alongside her more senior colleagues, proving herself an integral part of the Kirkland & Ellis team. The result was a highly favorable settlement that allowed us to retain our intellectual property and continue business without debilitating restrictions. For any business in Fort Worth or beyond facing litigation in commercial, IP, or employment matters, I cannot recommend Sarah A. Childs more highly. She is a formidable and insightful attorney who delivers outstanding client service.
