Testimonials

‘I worked with the Crowell team on a matter that had a significant engineering and scientific component. The Crowell team was not afraid to dive into the technical details of the case.'
'They took the time to get a foundation in the technical aspects, which they then leveraged to apply the appropriate legal arguments. I was impressed with their attention to detail on the engineering side of the dispute, which was critical in this case.'
