Criminal Law

• Wrongful Death
  For nearly twenty years, our team has represented the healthcare profession in cases filed by patients. We have defended physicians, nurses, physician assistants, CRNAs, and hospitals in cases involving traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, and catastrophic losses. We have worked in the area of anesthesia, family medicine, obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics, neurology, neurosurgery, radiology, oncology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, gastroenterology, surgery, emergency medicine, flight medicine, intensive care, cardiology, and pulmonology. We have successfully defended cases before juries in Colorado and Arizona.
• Fraud
  In an increasingly complex global business environment, our clients rarely face challenges that call upon one legal discipline.  Our team of trial lawyers handles matters involving a blend of legal issues that range from securities fraud, anti-competitive conduct, financial fraud, anti-trust, theft of intellectual property, and trade secret misappropriation.  We also help clients handle government investigations on a variety of issues involving environmental, financial, and human health regulations.  When litigation happens, Sheridan Ross uses its vast experience in these areas of business and the law to help our clients protect their business.

Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law
  We understand the nuances of crafting agreements and other documents required to commercialize intellectual property. Our lawyers work closely with both our clients’ inventors, in-house counsel, and owners, as well as with our clients’ business or corporate law firms, to create commercial agreements that properly address—based on our clients’ objectives—the intricacies of intellectual property development, licensing, and sale.
• Mergers and Acquisitions
  Our attorneys also have a depth of experience handling related litigation, including mergers and acquisitions disputes, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty matters, and government enforcement actions.
• Business Disputes
  Business disputes involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, anti-competitive conduct, anti-trust violations, false advertising, trade secrets, Lanham Act violations, bad faith, and breach of contract;
• Business Transactions
  The Technology and IP Transaction Group at Sheridan Ross counsels clients on business and corporate transactions that involve intellectual property and technology.  Our attorneys have a depth of experience representing clients in corporate M&A transactions involving the due diligence, acquisition, transfer, commercialization and/or sale of intellectual property, know-how and trade secrets. Clients rely on our team’s ability to safeguard their intellectual property through investments, corporate structuring and financings, and commercial transactions. Our attorneys have negotiated, managed and structured complex IP transactions such as licensing, technology transfer, joint development and joint venture, research agreements, settlement and non-disclosure agreements. We also handle technology acquisition and divestiture matters, manufacturing and co-promotion agreements, and the creation of IP holding company strategies. We also use our team’s deep experience with and exposure to litigation to help create IP litigation settlements.
• Trade Secrets
  We recognize that under the right circumstances, trade secret protection can be more potent than patent protection—and in some instances, trade secret protection is the only option. We work with clients to create trade secret protection plans for their businesses, not only to assess their existing confidential and proprietary assets but also to provide an established policy to prevent disclosure of potentially valuable information. The very survival of a company built around trade secrets can hinge on having an effective plan to protect trade secrets, and we provide the critical advice needed to ensure that survival. We have also worked to audit and evaluate existing trade secret protection systems and policies to ensure they are working correctly.
• Intellectual Property
  Founded in 1954, Sheridan Ross is region’s largest intellectual property law firm that now also handles complex commercial litigation. From individuals, inventors, and entrepreneurs to the world’s largest corporations, we believe that the extraordinary effort to innovate should be matched by the strength of protection.  With advanced degrees and work experience in technical fields including computer software, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, genetics and aeronautics – we are engineers, researchers, rocket scientists and so much more.  Working with clients from virtually every industry and technology, we’re known for our ability to deliver relevant, cost-effective solutions to a broad range of IP and litigation legal needs.

Every successful venture depends upon a robust intellectual property portfolio backed by a trial firm that can enforce your portfolio and defend your products.
