About

Provided by Lee & Hayes

Our mission is simple and focused: to serve as trusted partners with the world’s leading innovators and brands. In addition, we commit to using our three core values to guide our decisions and behavior, as we strive to provide service excellence to our clients, to be relationship centered with each other and our clients, and to demonstrate stewardship for our firm and for our clients. These values are not simply words, but rather the foundation of our identity and culture.

With advanced degrees and backgrounds as in-house counsel, former patent examiners at the USPTO, big law firm experience, engineers, and thought leaders in our industry, we understand technologies because we’ve helped build them, explain them, and protect them. It’s in our DNA—powering how we guide clients, from Fortune 50 companies to start-ups, through the legal frameworks that govern innovation, brand protection, and competitive advantage.
