Cooke Kobrick & Wu LLP - San Mateo, CA

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.
