Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Many missteps companies make in signing bad agreements or dealing with a problematic employee can be prevented with a phone call, meeting, or review of an email or document by our lawyers at Chenoweth Law Group. By being on call as general counsel to our clients, we can provide needed guidance or quick course correction before an ill-advised action is taken. Our philosophy is: “It’s cheaper to keep you out of trouble than to bail you out of trouble.” It’s a mindset we try and teach our clients so they can fully utilize our firm as a resource.

Most firms do not have every kind of specialist for every legal issue, and that’s true with CLG. When our clients need a specialist, we research and hire one. We negotiate rates and fee agreement, and provide light project management of that legal need to ensure things go smoothly and the clients get what they need for a reasonable fee. We review the specialist’s billings to ensure this result as well.

At CLG, we represent businesses of all types. From our headquarters in Portland, we take on our clients’ legal matters throughout Oregon, Washington, and California.
