Software, Semiconductors and the Internet
Dewey & LeBoeuf advises companies globally in a wide range of information technology industries – from enterprise software applications to semiconductor design and manufacturing, from Internet commerce and games to wireless communications, and more. Drawing on their many years of experience working with executives, entrepreneurs and investors in high-tech companies, our lawyers regularly handle sophisticated mergers and acquisitions, strategic joint ventures and licensing transactions, high-stakes litigation, equity and debt corporate financings, complex international tax structures, and other critical legal matters for companies that are or aspire to be the leaders in their technology fields.
Our lawyers are recognized as leaders in their legal fields who have handled some of the largest mergers, licensing transactions and litigation settlements ever done in these industries. Several of our attorneys have advanced technical degrees or professional experience working in high-tech businesses, and they regularly advise clients on issues that lie at the intersection of business, law and technology, such as the use of open source software and patent portfolio strategies. Our extensive knowledge of business, legal and technical matters enables us to understand our clients’ business models and objectives, recognize industry practices that are either standard or unconventional, and advise our clients on dynamics and trends that can make the difference between success and failure in a transaction or a dispute.
