I highly recommend Bill Gaede (MWE, Menlo Park) as he brings expertise, honest and direct client communication, and a sense of humor to a stressful, expensive, and complex process. He is very flexible about adopting a strategy that is both appropriate for the case and the client's budget. His support staff is also very professional and responsive.

Bill Gaede is that rare combination of an outstanding litigator and business advisor. He always takes the time to understand the business context of any problem you bring to him, making sure that the proposed way forward is not only legally sound, but serves the client's business objectives.

Bill Gaede has an immense amount of experience in biotechnology litigation, and a gift for identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each argument. With clients, he is direct and honest, and thereby inspires trust and confidence. With opposing counsel, he is ethical and rigorous. He is a good person to have on your side.
