Parag Gheewala

I managed the technology transactions practice in the firm's Seattle and Austin offices. I advised clients on intellectual property issues and transactions involving the development, acquisition, use, or exploitation of technology. I represented companies at all stages of growth—from promising start-ups to industry-leading, multinational public companies—in an array of technology sectors, including cloud, mobile, software, software-as-a-service, hardware, video gaming, social networking, semiconductor, media, e-commerce, and alternative energy.

In addition, I structured, drafted, and negotiated a broad range of commercial agreements, including customer, distribution, licensing, research, development, manufacturing, purchase, supply, and marketing agreements. I counseled clients on a variety of intellectual property issues, including intellectual property portfolio strategy, open source compliance, standards body participation, and settlement of intellectual property litigation. I also advised clients on intellectual property issues in mergers, acquisitions, intellectual property purchases, divestitures, public offerings, and investments.
