• We have agreed in writing to represent you
• You have signed an engagement letter
• We have confirmed representation in writing

2.2 Consultation

Initial consultations are provided to determine whether we can assist with your legal matter. During a consultation, we may discuss your situation, but this does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship unless we formally agree to representation.

• Patent prosecution and litigation
• Trademark registration and enforcement
