San Mateo Antitrust & Trade Regulation Law Firm
Overview
Innovative Legal Advocacy Protecting Area Businesses
CEO's of corporations are selected for their high-level positions based on management skills and various achievements. Legal acumen is rarely considered, even if the company does not enjoy the luxury of in-house attorneys. For those professionals and organizations, a seasoned attorney committed to staying on the cutting edge of technology can be a valuable asset.
The attorneys at Cooke Kobrick & Wu LLP provide seasoned legal counseling to California corporations and individuals (including in-house counsel for employers) when business interests and reputations are at stake.
For representation that is both aggressive in the courtroom and cutting edge in its knowledge and use of technology, contact us at 650-917-8045. With offices in the Silicon Valley, we are a San Jose-area business law firm/business litigation law firm and a San Francisco-area business litigation law firm.
Technology is a Priority
Many business law attorneys do not have deep expertise in technology and tech legal issues. At Cooke Kobrick & Wu LLP, we pride ourselves on our unique areas of practice and the knowledge we bring to clients who need help in those areas. Our firm emphasizes our expertise in trade secret cases, especially those involving claims of data theft and information security breaches, requiring expertise in electronic discovery and digital evidence law. We counsel clients on ways they can protect their trade secrets and aggressively pursue claims against those who have stolen technology. We also defend businesses and individuals wrongfully accused of trade secret misappropriation.
In addition, our technology practice covers areas such as data protection, Internet law, cloud computing, ecommerce, electronic privacy, virtual worlds, video games (including massively multiplayer online games - MMOGs), artificial intelligence, robotics and nanotechnology. Business is rarely done with paper, and we help our clients draft and negotiate technology transactions.
As this area expands and matures, the need for legal help grows. Partner Stephen Wu not only brings a comprehensive background in this area, but also serves as Chair-Elect of the American Bar Association Section of Science and Technology Law.
In-Depth Legal Knowledge Coupled with First-Hand Experience

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
