ABOUT HW

Hoffman Warnick LLC recognizes that in today's aggressive and technology driven marketplace, clients often have needs that go beyond traditional legal advice. To address this, we see our role as more than just a provider of conventional attorney-client counseling. Rather, we strive to become "partners for success" with our clients. To this end, HW seeks to meet the following objectives:

• HW's first priority is to understand each client's business so that we can be a more complete resource. HW understands that without a good understanding of a client's goals, important resources of the client can be unnecessarily wasted.
• HW recognizes the need for clients to fully understand the intellectual property environment so informed decisions can be made. HW strives to ensure that clients have the requisite understanding and will take the proper time to educate clients.
• With regard to start-up business ventures, HW appreciates what it takes to start a business and the importance of expertise beyond intellectual property law (e.g., accountants and venture capitalists). HW works hard to maintain a network of resources having such expertise to assist our clients with other needs.
• HW strives to maintain cost-effectiveness in providing intellectual property services.  HW is careful to keep clients informed of costs and to provide realistic options for clients. HW also offers free initial consultations.
• HW knows the importance to our clients of providing understandable and accurate business information, e.g., invoices, about our services. HW endeavors to provide the information our clients need in the format our clients want.

Worldwide Presence: HW maintains relationships with foreign affiliates in practically every country in the world.

Local Commitment: Beyond having a worldwide presence, HW strives to be involved in the technology business movement in New York State's Capital Region. HW is committed to advancing the Capital Region and Tech Valley as a center for high technology and innovation.
