About Us

Overview
TechLaw LLP was founded when several independent patent attorneys partnered to form a classic IP boutique firm. Our partners manage their own practices while enjoying the cooperation of a group of colleagues. The team of partners meets weekly, more often than partners at many large IP firms.

Our Pricing
Our pricing is highly competitive. We avoid operating expensive practices and pass that savings to our clients.  Our billing rates range from $280-$310 per hour.  We avoid billing small costs, and offer a number of flat-fee arrangements that avoid unexpected legal bills, even for the largest clients.
 
We also offer multiple filing discounts for clients that intend to file numerous copyrights or patents or more than more than 10 trademarks at a time.
 
Our Philosophy
We operate our practices for our clients and not for ourselves. We think of ourselves in much the same way as old country lawyers: we exist for the needs of our clients.  Many law firms today operate as highly profitable businesses with a mission to profit. Our mission is to create a sustainable practice based on life-long relationships with our clients. We do not rent class-A offices. We do not travel first class. We do not employ an army of associates. We offer a high class practice where our partners and paralegals know you, and you know us.
