General Counsel, PC

Recent technological advances make protecting your intellectual property more important than ever. GC is the first stop for many major corporations seeking to prosecute or defend a trademark, copyright or patent infringement case, as well as suits alleging trade secret misappropriation. GC's business-oriented approach means that we look to resolve cases prior to litigation, if that best meets the client's business goals. When appropriate, we also assist our clients in selecting and purchasing insurance coverage for intellectual property matters.
