Elliott Ostrander & Preston

Divorce

Fraud
Our trial attorneys find effective and efficient resolutions for personal and business disputes. We represent clients in a variety of trial, arbitration, and mediation matters, including business, real estate, intellectual property, employment, insurance coverage, legal and accounting malpractice, environmental, securities fraud, shareholder and management disputes, estates, product liability, tort, transportation, contracts, and entertainment law issues. We represent clients before trial and appellate courts, administrative agencies, and arbitration panels throughout Oregon and Washington. Our litigation team excels at creating efficient and sensible solutions to disputes of all types. When it is called for, we take cases all the way and have prevailed in several high profile cases in the Oregon Supreme Court.

Business and Corporate Law

Mergers and Acquisitions
We work with clients to develop a patent strategy that relates to their business strategy and product roadmap, and then prepare and prosecute patent applications in the US patent office and patent offices around the world, accordingly. We negotiate and draft patent licenses, and litigate patent infringement claims when needed. We provide opinions of non-infringement and invalidity of third party patents, and conduct patent due diligence investigations in mergers and acquisitions.
Business Disputes
Business Transactions
We provide general counsel to many closely-held companies that require assistance with various business legal issues, including acquisitions, commercial transactions, and employment matters.
Limited Liability Companies
Our services include: general business and transaction tax planning, including S corporations, professional corporations, and limited liability companies; corporate reorganizations, including mergers, spin-offs of corporate divisions, sales of corporate subsidiaries, corporate liquidations, and stock redemptions; tax-free (“like-kind”) exchanges for real estate; estate tax, gift tax, generation skipping transfer tax, and income tax planning for high net worth individuals and taxable trusts and estates; and, income and estate tax planning for marital dissolutions.
Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
Greg practices primarily intellectual property (IP) law, including preparing and prosecuting patent applications before the US patent and trademark office and patent offices in other countries, representing the patent holder or alleged infringer in licensing patents or litigating patent infringement claims, as well as counseling clients on trademark, copyright, trade secret, open source software licensing, and other IP issues. He previously practiced intellectual property law for 22 years with a top-ranked Silicon-Valley based intellectual property law firm.
Unfair Competition
The firm has experience in the areas of trade secrets, publicity rights, patent disputes, neighboring rights, and unfair competition claims.

Employment Litigation
We represent both employers and employees. Our experience on both sides of the table is invaluable in helping us provide our clients with efficient and cost effective solutions to their employment-related concerns. We help employers with “preventative practices,” which include developing and implementing employment policies and handbooks that can decrease the chances of litigation. We also advise employers and clients on contract negotiations and how to comply with changes in the laws and regulations affecting their businesses. If necessary, we defend them from employment claims brought against them. We also assist employees in negotiating employment and other agreements, severance packages, and non-competition agreements, and we evaluate potential claims. Our attorneys handle claims in state and federal courts, both at the trial and appellate level. We also appear before administrative bodies, including the Department of Labor, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Bureau of Labor and Industries.

Wills
Bill Drew is a practical problem solver. His work involves dynamic relationships between intelligent, combative, and often emotional parties, involving everything from complex shareholder disputes, real property transactions, intellectual property rights, employment matters, insurance coverage, and complex business contracts, to family squabbles, will contests, and common law claims. Bill seeks to identify the root of a problem, and then to provide real counsel and advice to clients. While many lawyers will lay out a client’s options, Bill offers a practical and pragmatic approach to problem solving, and isn’t afraid to say what he would do if he were in his client’s shoes.
