We also advise several "start-ups" on corporate structuring, formation, and management, joint ventures, supply agreements and management, employee management, and business partner relationships.In 2020, we added Sarah Beaujour, a French citizen licensed in France and New York to our Chicago office, and John Wiberg, an intellectual property specialist who works remotely from Boulder, Colorado. Together, we have worked on some landmark cases, including In re: Boeing 737 MAX Pilots Litigation, two trademark infringement cases against more than 300 defendants, and a shareholder dispute involving Canada's largest cryptocurrency exchange, and our reputation and client base is only growing.
