Each attorney has a technical or science background, and each has experience counseling both start-up and established Fortune 500™ companies. Moreover, as seen in the accompanying materials, each of the attorneys of Dobrusin & Thennisch pride themselves on being at the forefront of legal and business developments through such mechanisms as professional conferences, legal articles, recognition in Crain’s Detroit Business, and the national publication of Intellectual Property Litigation: Pretrial Practice co-authored by Eric M. Dobrusin and University of Michigan Regent, Katherine E. White.

Dobrusin & Thennisch is committed to using the breadth of this practice to assist in the growth and development of our clients, which range from emerging “start-up” companies to established Fortune 500™ corporations seeking to maximize the value of their intellectual property portfolios. Our attorneys are familiar with the unique demands facing technology-oriented commerce, and can operate efficiently and unintrusively in our clients’ work environments to meet their needs. To this end, the Firm’s attorneys work closely with in-house counsel and/or new product development and marketing teams to develop strategies for proactively using intellectual property in furtherance of the client’s business objectives.
