We See Things Differently
STRATEGIC INTERDISCIPLINARY COUNSELING

Anti-Counterfeiting

Antitrust Litigation

Commercial Litigation
& Strategic Counseling
With our team’s wide-ranging scientific and commercial knowledge, and litigation and arbitration experience, Haug Partners helps clients navigate through the array of relationships that are vital to their business. Haug Partners attorneys anticipate issues and counsel clients to tailor contracts and manage key relationships to avoid disputes. Not every matter requires resolution in the courtroom, and when disputes arise we help clients attempt to resolve them through negotiations or mediations. But when appropriate, we are ready to litigate complex, high-stakes cases of strategic importance to our clients.
Due Diligence
Our attorneys have conducted due diligence relating to the sale, acquisition, and licensing of assets in a wide variety of fields.

International Trade Commission
Companies may need to seek or protect against exclusion orders that bar imports of products. ITC proceedings are fast-moving, complex, and require the advice and guidance of experienced counsel. Haug Partners has the experience and resources to achieve optimal outcomes under the ITC’s unique procedures and tight deadlines.
Investigations,
Compliance,
& Risk Mitigation Services
Internal investigations and compliance reviews are among the most critical steps companies can take to identify and mitigate risk.

We blend these skills with our understanding of our clients’ business objectives to draft and negotiate the terms necessary to get deals done while ensuring that they realize their expected value.
