Areas of Practice
Intellectual Property
In business today establishing a well thought out strategy for developing, protecting, enforcing, and commercializing intellectual property is essential. In addition to being a significant company asset, intellectual property can help a company attain and maintain a superior competitive position, ensure business flexibility, and secure profitability.
Redding Law devises strategies for its clients that maximize intellectual property protection for company assets, such as new technologies or commercialized products, to establish a robust intellectual property portfolio. We also determine which forms of intellectual property are most appropriate to protect a given technology or product while simultaneously considering our clients’ overall business goals.
The areas of intellectual property in which we are knowledgeable include trademarks, patents, trade secrets and copyrights.

Commercial Disputes / Litigation
Disputes and litigation are a reality of business and even the best-run businesses will eventually find themselves embroiled in business disputes that necessitate or result some action, including litigation. Redding Law has the trial and appellate experience to vigorously represent your interests in court. Morevover, by leveraging technology and our case management expertise, we increase efficiency and decrease costs.
More often than not however, the inherent delays, risks, and costs of litigation do not benefit the parties involved, and business objectives demand considering alternative forms of dispute resolution.
