Adrienne Dellinger

Skilled and strategic guidance on a complex IP dispute

I engaged Adrienne Dellinger at Caldwell Cassady & Curry for a sensitive matter involving alleged trade secret misappropriation by a former business partner. While her primary office is in Dallas, her representation in the Houston area was seamless. Adrienne's background, including her recognition by Best Lawyers in Intellectual Property and Patent Litigation, was immediately evident. She demonstrated a sophisticated grasp of the technical nuances involved, which was crucial given the patent-adjacent aspects of our case. Her strategy was methodical and she communicated complex legal concepts in a way that was clear and actionable for our management team. We achieved a highly favorable settlement that protected our core IP assets without the need for protracted litigation. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, though her team was always responsive for urgent matters. Overall, Adrienne’s expertise from SMU and her focused practice made her an invaluable asset. I would confidently recommend her for any business facing complex IP challenges.
