Stuart Atwater

I thrive on technical and legal challenges — the more complex, the better. Many attorneys go straight from college to law school and then into the legal profession. My path was a little different. Before I became an intellectual property attorney, I was an engineer and an entrepreneur. I have worked for large corporations and smaller ones, launched my own business, earned my own patents, negotiated multimillion-dollar contracts, and collaborated with investors and venture capitalists. I’ve worked with a broad range of suppliers, industries, and countries over the course of my varied and lengthy career in manufacturing and design. As a result, I bring to the table 30+ years of hands-on engineering and business experience in both the C-suite and on the factory floor. I draw on that deep well of knowledge to help you protect your intellectual property — and to advance your business.
