Exceptional guidance through a complex IP licensing dispute

I engaged James Bor-Zale at WilmerHale in Boston to assist my technology startup with a high-stakes intellectual property licensing dispute that threatened to derail a critical partnership. Despite his relatively recent graduation from Boston College Law School, James demonstrated a command of the nuanced legal and commercial issues that was immediately impressive. His recognition in Best Lawyers for Litigation - Intellectual Property and Commercial Litigation was clearly well-earned. James meticulously deconstructed the opposing party's claims, crafted a compelling strategy that balanced litigation posture with a pathway to settlement, and communicated complex appellate-ready arguments with clarity. His professionalism was unwavering, and he made us feel like a priority, providing timely updates and practical business advice alongside rigorous legal analysis. The matter was resolved favorably, preserving our core IP and the business relationship. James’s strategic thinking and dedication were instrumental in achieving this positive outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend him for sophisticated commercial or IP litigation matters.
