The Goulston & Storrs Intellectual Property group uses an interdisciplinary practice drawing upon the expertise of lawyers in our business and litigation groups. Our business lawyers focus on the identification and protection of our clients’ intangible assets and assist our clients in structuring, negotiating and documenting transactions involving those valuable assets. Our litigators focus on enforcing and defending our clients’ intellectual property rights. Frequently, we blend the skills and experience of both business lawyers and litigators to achieve our clients’ objectives with regard to protection, exploitation and dispute resolution. We also call upon experienced paralegals to deliver cost-effective service to our clients.
