• Business Disputes

• Intellectual Property
• Unfair Competition
  Successful companies aggressively enforce and defend their intellectual property rights in the global market. For many clients, intellectual property is their most valuable asset. Keller Rohrback attorneys have experience litigating cases in federal and state courts across the country, as well as before the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board, that involve patents, trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, trade secrets, license agreements, intellectual property management related to employee mobility, unfair competition and antitrust issues. Keller Rohrback has seasoned litigators who know how to negotiate and resolve cases without going to trial, if possible.
• Antitrust
  Our insolvency attorneys are experienced in litigation, both in bankruptcy courts and state and federal courts, and are well prepared to handle all litigation that may arise in a bankruptcy case or other insolvency proceedings. On a broader scale, often a bankruptcy estate holds valuable claims against other parties – for example, antitrust violations, fraudulent transfers, and breaches of fiduciary duty – but lacks the resources to pursue those claims. Keller Rohrback has nationally recognized litigation expertise in these areas, and has a great deal of experience in structuring contingent fee arrangements that allow a client to pursue these types of claims while preserving the client’s cash for current operations.
