$340M Cross-Border Acquisition

The Situation: Manufacturing client got hit with a lawsuit claiming they'd breached supply agreements worth $47M. Plaintiff was actually trying to get out of a bad deal they'd made themselves.

What We Did: Dug through years of correspondence and found emails showing the plaintiff knew exactly what they were getting into. Built a counterclaim for attempted fraud that made them rethink their position pretty quickly.

Outcome: Case dismissed with prejudice. Client paid zero in settlement. Opposing counsel even had to cover our court costs. Client's still doing business with other suppliers who saw how we handled it.

The Situation: Financial services holding company with eight subsidiaries, each doing compliance their own way. Audit costs through the roof, constant risk of contradictory policies, and nobody could give the board a straight answer about their actual exposure.

What We Did: Spent six weeks mapping everything - policies, procedures, reporting lines, the whole mess. Then built a unified framework that actually made sense for how they operate. Trained their internal team to maintain it without needing us to hold their hand.

Outcome: Compliance costs down 40%. Zero regulatory violations in the 18 months since implementation. Board actually understands their risk profile now. Best part? Their internal counsel tells us they sleep better at night.

The Situation: Biotech startup with breakthrough research needed global protection before going to market. Competition was fierce, timelines were tight, and they'd already blown through one IP firm that didn't understand the science.

What We Did: Brought in specialists who actually got the technology. Filed strategic patents in 12 key markets simultaneously. Created a defensive publication strategy for stuff we didn't patent. Set up licensing frameworks for future partnerships.

Outcome: Complete portfolio protection valued at $125M. Successfully defended against two early challenges from competitors. Company went on to secure Series B funding at a significantly higher valuation because their IP was rock solid.

The Situation: C-suite executive leaving to join direct competitor. Non-compete in place but enforcement was questionable. Real worry was trade secrets and client relationships walking out the door.

What We Did: Skip the courtroom drama - those cases are expensive and unpredictable. Instead, we negotiated directly with the exec and their new employer. Found middle ground that protected our client's legitimate interests without being unreasonable.

Outcome: Confidential settlement that included modified non-compete terms, client protection agreements, and transition support. Both sides avoided litigation costs. Executive started their new role, our client kept their key relationships intact. Sometimes the best solution isn't the most aggressive one.
