Testimonials

“Karen and Julie are both great lawyers: smart, conscientious, and willing to think outside the box. I've enjoyed working with each of them separately in the past. Together, they are an unbeatable team.”

Mark Lemley
Professor, Stanford Law School

“In a preliminary injunction motion where Karen represented my former company, the judge asked a question about claim construction that hadn't been briefed. She did an impromptu Markman argument that answered the judge's question, and backed the other party into a corner. Over the course of several years, she repeatedly defended Kyphon's core intellectual property with efficiency and grace. The strength of Kyphon's IP ultimately contributed to a multi-billion dollar acquisition of the company, so we were certainly happy with Karen's hard work in defending our rights.”

David Shaw
former General Counsel of Kyphon Inc.

“Julie Turner is a brilliant, dedicated attorney who understands both the legal and practical business needs of her clients. She was the first person I thought of when PlayFirst needed to protect one of its core intellectual property assets.”

Brad Simon
Vice President & General Counsel PlayFirst, Inc.

“Karen is adept at quickly sizing up a case and boiling it down to its essence, saving her clients time and money by avoiding litigation over minutiae. Karen is also a confident and passionate advocate, and doesn't back down no matter who is on the other side.”

Kurtis MacFerrin
Director of Intellectual Property Litigation
Applied Biosystems

“Julie is an extremely bright, aggressive, and tireless attorney who knows how to win.”

“Karen not only has the lawyering skills that you would expect from someone with her resume, but she approaches litigation with her client's business needs always in mind. She has the all-too-rare ability to anticipate the arguments and strategies of opposing counsel, so she runs cases proactively rather than reactively--which makes for better case development at a lower cost.”

Meg Snowden
Vice President of Intellectual Property
Impax Laboratories (and former GC of Valentis)

“Julie is scary-smart, very aggressive and tenacious as all get out. She earns that highest of legal honors: someone you fear being up against. I endorse her heartily and will refer others to her.”
