WilmerHale advises that, unless an individual is an existing client, they should review the firm’s disclaimer before initiating communication. The disclaimer clarifies that no confidential information should be shared until a formal engagement letter has been issued, establishing an attorney-client relationship.

The Sedona Global Intellectual Property Conference is recognized for convening leading IP practitioners and thought leaders to discuss pressing issues in patent law, licensing, and litigation funding. WilmerHale’s involvement underscores its role in shaping discourse on these pivotal topics.
