Larger Companies with Specialty Needs

We have been retained by various companies having even established relationships with large law firms in order to help with specialty needs. Sometimes this is cost-driven, as when we are asked to draft and/or advise upon a range of technology licensing or distribution contracts, or other matters involving exploitation of intellectual property, on behalf of an established company that uses a larger firm for its broader corporate needs but seeks a more cost-effective solution for its contract work, IP work, and similar matters. This also applies to trademark filings and similar matters for which our firm is often priced more cost-effectively than a larger firm. This has even taken the form of a “quasi in-house counsel” role – where a company actively working with a large firm in a pre-IPO stage retains our firm as the functional equivalent of an in-house legal staff, albeit only for limited items as needed for which a typical in-house legal staff would normally be used (e.g., for routine contracts, basic intellectual property protection, and other matters not requiring the premium-priced services of a large law firm).
