Case evaluation & legal fees

Potential cases are evaluated by identifying their strengths and weaknesses through legal research, intellectual property searches, and a thorough review of all relevant legal documents. Following a full evaluation of the merits of each case, the Law Offices of Todd Wengrovsky often represents intellectual property owners on a "hybrid contingency" fee basis, including a reduced hourly fee combined with a percentage of recovery. This allows individual and corporate clientele to enforce their patents, trademarks, and copyrights at reasonable costs. In all cases, clients are provided with a detailed retainer agreement, outlining the potential fees and responsibilities throughout the litigation. Importantly, clients are kept abreast of developments of each case.

Fee arrangements depend on the matter and the terms of the written retainer agreement. Contact the firm to discuss the arrangements available for your case.

Alternate dispute resolution & mediation

It is often desirable to suspend or avoid litigation through amicable resolve of the conflict. Services provided in an effort to reduce overall costs through settlement include:

  • Settlement negotiations with opposing parties’ representatives
  • Drafting of settlement agreements and license agreements
  • Representation in non-binding Court-affiliated mediation programs
  • Representation in binding arbitration

Todd Wengrovsky has represented clients before the American Arbitration Association, as well as JAMS private mediation service.
