TESTIMONIALS

Product innovation, NDAs and data privacy are all incredibly useful in my present work profile of litigating with respect to patents, copyright, trademarks and digital platforms. All of the course teaching gave me a sufficient foundation to build upon and help me wade through the florid intricacies of litigation.
