Drafting for the Future

As a strategy-based IP firm, the firm has witnessed the financial and business consequences of poorly drafted IP licensing agreements. These agreements often fail to adequately address or predict the range of IP challenges possible in a given IP licensing transaction. When selecting the terms of a license grant, the firm's attorneys use clear and concise language to set out terms. The attorneys at Warshaw Burstein begin drafting licensing agreements with a defensive and strategic consultative approach. The goal is to prevent potential risk while securing client interests.
