How We Help Clients
Expert Witness
In software litigation cases, source code review is essential for uncovering evidence related to intellectual property disputes, code theft, or functionality claims. We provide expert witness services by conducting thorough source code analyses to identify similarities, infringements, or defects. Our detailed reports and testimony clarify technical complexities, supporting cases involving patent infringement, copyright violations, or trade secret misappropriation in court.
Pre-Litigation Consulting
Prior to initiating software litigation, our pre-litigation consulting involves in-depth source code reviews to evaluate the viability of claims. We examine code for compliance with contracts, detect potential IP issues, and assess code quality or plagiarism. This helps clients build strong cases, negotiate settlements, or avoid unfounded lawsuits by providing objective technical insights into software-related disputes.
Breach of Contract Litigation
For breach of contract litigation in software projects, source code review reveals whether deliverables meet specified requirements, timelines, or quality standards. We analyze codebases to identify deviations, bugs, or incomplete implementations that constitute breaches. Our expertise supports legal teams by offering evidence-based assessments, strengthening arguments in disputes over software development agreements or licensing terms.
