Alan Tenenbaum

Alan Tenenbaum focuses his practice on commercial and intellectual property litigation, helping companies resolve disputes and protect their assets in a practical, business-minded way. Drawing on his experience with complex, high-stakes matters, including multiple billion-dollar patent trials in federal court, Alan now leverages that experience to guide emerging, mid-sized, and privately held companies through their most important IP, technology and commercial challenges.

He represents clients in disputes involving patents, trade secrets, trademarks, unfair competition, and commercial claims, particularly in the fields of software, consumer products, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. Alan also advises on matters related to customs and import regulations and disputes involving customs brokers and freight carriers.

As outside general counsel to several companies, Alan helps clients proactively manage risk, resolve disputes before they escalate, and develop strategies to acquire, protect, and monetize technology and intellectual property. His depth of experience—spanning high-stakes litigation to practical, day-to-day counsel—allows him to speak strategically with business owners, C-suite executives, and in-house counsel. He brings a valuable seat to the table, helping decision-makers navigate competition and complex legal challenges with clarity and alignment to business objectives and priorities.

In addition to litigation, Alan negotiates commercial contracts involving technology, including IP licenses, IT agreements, and research, manufacturing, supply and distribution agreements.  He also supports patent prosecution, acquisition, and licensing strategies.
