About

Provided by Rothwell, Figg, Ernst & Manbeck PC

Rothwell Figg’s litigation capabilities cover the full spectrum of intellectual property. We specialize in crafting and executing strategies that align with our clients’ business goals, contain costs, and resolve disputes on the most favorable terms possible. We approach IP litigation not just as a legal challenge, but also as a business and strategic one. By integrating all three perspectives, we provide our clients with representation, even in the most complex disputes, that minimizes risk, maximizes opportunities, and most importantly, aggressively represents their interests.

  • We bring to every case an impressive team of attorneys who are both skilled in the law and have deep technical expertise. IP cases turn on what are usually complex, fact-intensive, and high-stakes scenarios and this is where the knowledge of our lawyers makes a major difference.
  • Many of our attorneys have industry experience. First-hand knowledge is a major asset when litigating a case, and enables us to stay current on the latest technical and industry developments.
  • We apply a group approach, building lean, highly experienced teams that communicate, work together seamlessly, share expertise in technical and legal disciplines, and most important of all, deliver results.
  • While we are focused on winning in court, our trial lawyers understand that each client and situation has a different set of factors and a unique definition of victory. Through it all, we provide clear, and consistent communication.
