Wendy Haller Verlander

Wendy was the lead lawyer helping to develop & support our IP work for a smart container. She came highly recommended from another group of entrepreneurs that had developed and sold their IP to a F1000 company. As CEO & founder of the company, I worked side-by-side with Wendy for over a year. Here ar...e the highlights: 1. Incredibly intelligent - Wendy is a brilliant lawyer who is quick to understand various technologies. The speed with which she comprehends details allowed us to focus on the development of the IP, to which Wendy added tremendous value. 2. Quick worker - Wendy's turnaround time on her deliverables for the company was off-the-charts. She excels in what she does, and her ethic and love for her work is contagious. 3. Dedicated - Wendy spends the time explaining everything you may have a question on so as a client you can make the most informed decision possible. 4. Amicable - Wendy is always a pleasure to work with. She always made me feel comfortable during a process which at the time I knew nothing about. In a nutshell: Both for her work and attitude, I would hire Wendy again and strongly recommend her.

As the CTO of a growing tech company on the Senior Board of the Toronto Stock Exchange we found ourselves on the other side of an assertion made by a US firm. Our diligence process lead us to Wilmer Hale, and Wendy Haller Verlander in particular, who lead the development of our case. Wendy's stro...ng technical background and knowledge of the law was evident from the start. During the two plus years that this case developed in terms of depositions, expert reports and court appearances I came to truly respect Wendy's ability to assimilate information quickly and to turn it into effective and actionable legal tactics. Her creativity when it came to looking at different angles of attack and building the case momentum was also noted by our senior executive and board of directors. Ultimately the case was resolved through a favorable business agreement that directly benefited from the overwhelming strength of the case developed by Wendy and her team. I continue to respect Wendy's keen technical intellect and knowledge of the law and continue to recommend her work to colleagues and business associates.

Wendy is an exceptionally thoughtful, informed and diligent lawyer. She came highly recommended from a legal team at Skadden - I run a startup in Boston and needed a local lawyer. Wendy and the WilmerHale team helped with wireframes, claims, strategy and prior art. She was very open in her evaluation... of the product and related IP. The process was seamless to file and Wendy even helped as Venture Capitalists approached my company to evaluate the patents relating to our technology. As a lawyer, Wendy periodically goes above and beyond. She has helped connect me to startup advisors as well as tech/healthcare subject matter experts. I highly recommend Wendy Verlander for as an IP lawyer.

Wendy lacks any knowledge needed for my case. She spoke about having all the knowledge in the beginning then when we started she suddenly knew nothing... before we agreed to work together she was confident we would be very well taken care of, then suddenly after the contract was settled she had amne...sia... of course she never would write that down
