Desmarais LLP

Desmarais LLP litigates complex, technology-driven disputes, and our lawyers have tried some of the most important intellectual property cases of recent years for some of the most innovative companies in the world. We handle the full range of IP litigation: trials in federal district courts, proceedings before the ITC and PTAB, and appeals that have shaped the development of patent law. We work at the cutting edge of AI, defending and enforcing patents in a field where the law is still being written, and we bring the same depth to life sciences and medical device disputes.

What also sets us apart from other top-tier litigation firms is how we charge. We have moved beyond the billable hour to arrangements built around our clients’ interests. Clients who want predictability can have a flat fee negotiated at the outset of a matter. Those who prefer to share risk can choose a contingent or hybrid structure. In every case, our incentives are tied to efficiency and results, not time spent, and clients can staff and strategize a case without watching the clock.
