ESI Discovery & Successful Outcomes
According to Business Insider, one third of small businesses reported that their largest investment was new technology. While technology can increase productivity, it can also become a point of confusion during a legal issue for an attorney who is not familiar with it. However, all of our attorneys are adept at working with Electronically Stored Information, called ESI discovery. Our areas of focus include but are not limited to, cybersquatting, e-commerce, trademark, and trade name dilution. We help clients resolve intellectual property and corporate disputes in industries ranging from corporate business, publications, real estate business, and retail merchandising to childcare facilities, education, and automotive.
Top Reasons Why Franchisor and Franchisee Disputes Occur
