ELG guides entrepreneurs and businesses to achieve the best possible protection and licensing for critical intellectual property at all stages of their business lifecycle. Providing all aspects of IP counsel, we advise across many industries, guiding individual inventors, artists and creators, as well as, startups, established businesses of all sizes and large corporations. We work with domestic and international clients to develop a deep understanding of their industries, technologies and market dynamics. This client-centric and industry-focused approach enables us to provide strategic advice and guidance that goes beyond legal considerations.
With deep experience in corporate, employment, and investment matters, ELG attorneys frequently advise on confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements for use with employees, investors, strategic partners and consultants that cover non-disclosure, invention assignments, and work-for-hire. We review and provide advice on internal policies and procedures to ensure confidential information and trade secrets are fully protected. With a reputation for being innovators, we also counsel clients developing emerging technologies with their unique intellectual property needs. In particular, we advise early-stage clients on important rights and obligations that founders may have with respect to jointly-created IP and rights and obligations that founders may have with respect to former employers.
