Determined advocates.
Townsend's litigators don't give up easily...if ever. In one difficult case, we battled a technology industry giant for more than a decade, through two seven-month trials and ultimately to a $96 million award of damages to our client. In another case, we defeated a dominant semiconductor manufacturer's patent on appeal and preserved our client's freedom to continue operations. From decisive jury verdicts to quick and efficient settlements, every litigation strategy is tailored to one objective--building and protecting your business.

Litigation

Whatever your business — from computer software to pharmaceuticals — we make it our business to understand your internal needs and operations. This knowledge, when combined with an in-depth understanding of the facts and technology underlying disputes, allows us to meaningfully present complex matters to a judge and jury and to help settle disputes in ways that can turn potential liabilities into net gains.

Experience matters.
Because an experienced litigator has what it takes to handle your needs. And you'll find lots of them at Townsend. Our litigators are not only experienced in patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, technology licensing, unfair competition, antitrust, and other complex commercial disputes, many also bring technical degrees and practical work experience to the table.

Case in point.
Large multiparty disputes require state-of-the-art case management. Whether the matter is a simple negotiation or a complex class action, we always seek efficient and economical case administration. Our customized case management system combines proven litigation management techniques with leading-edge computer technology to ensure that every case runs smoothly. Our case management systems have been successfully implemented in fast track lawsuits involving as many as 20 patents in a single case.

Flexibility helps.
Our corporate clients appreciate our ability to work effectively with their specialized in-house legal departments. We encourage close and flexible cooperation with in-house attorneys to assure cost-effective litigation. Assignments best handled internally remain in-house, while assignments requiring the resources and skills of the Townsend team receive our full attention.
