IP lawyers deal with the four types of Intellectual Property, which is property that you can own that isn’t tangible. Copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets are all examples of intellectual property. Each of these types of property have value and the companies and individuals that own them want to protect them. In this webinar, the following teams will be highlighted: 1) Brands, 2) IP Disputes, 3) Patents and 4) Technology Transactions.
Business Group lawyers handle primarily transactional and advisory work. They advise clients on legally complex transactions, such as financing, sales, purchases, mergers and acquisitions, usually on behalf of large, high value entities. Transactions can range from the sale of a hospital, to the construction and financing of a hydroelectric dam, to the sale of bonds to finance a subsidized housing project in a city or town. In this webinar, the following teams will be highlighted: 1) Corporate, M&A and Securities, 2) Real Estate, 3) Public Finance and 4) Healthcare.
Lawyers on the Projects team work with the many entities involved in creating complex infrastructure, such as roads, rail lines, energy distribution, dams, wind and solar energy projects and nuclear projects. They advise on the development and the financing of these structures. Often the structures affect or physically exist in more than one state or country, requiring knowledge of the laws of multiple jurisdictions.
Disputes lawyers handle disputes, disagreements, arguments, and investigations involving corporations, individuals, and the government. In many cases, Disputes lawyers are in the courtroom, arguing matters before judges, but they also handle disputes through arbitration or mediation. There are many different types of disputes. In this webinar, the following teams will be highlighted: 1) Commercial and Energy Disputes, 2) Product Liability and Consumer Disputes, 3) Regulatory, Investigations, Securities and Compliance and 4) Environmental and Mass Tort.
