| Intellectual Property - High Tech Law |
-
Intellectual property law intertwines contract, licensing, ownership,
privacy, infringement, tax, restrictions on trade
regulations, and other issues.
-
High technology law is much
more than a collection of legal disciplines, it is
understanding the client and the client's
business.
-
An effective legal adviser is a
proactive business liaison bringing a complimentary
perspective to the planning stage, strategy sessions and
negotiation table. A lawyer who does not understand
and follow the industry cannot be an effective
adviser.
|
- Emerging high tech corporations, hoping to avoid the
fixed costs associated with hiring a full time attorney,
often retain a law firm to provide a full range of legal
services.
-
To reduce legal expenses, management often assumes
responsibilities for many legal issues associated with doing
business. This is a time consuming method. One for
which some members of management may not be specifically
trained, and one which may lead to serious
oversights.
- Consequently, law firms are called upon in certain
instances after problems arise. Despite the
corporation's best efforts at monitoring outside counsels'
billing, corporations often discover that this method
entails significant yearly legal expenses.

| "Legal Maintenance Organization" |
WW@Law can best be described as a "Legal Maintenance
Organization." Much like an HMO which seeks to care for immediate health needs
and prevent future illness, a Legal Maintenance Organization
reduces legal and business expenses by addressing and
minimizing legal concerns.
We combine the flexibility of project base or per hour billing
with the advantages of a full time attorney.
