Case Results
We measure our work by the decisions we shape and the value we protect. The following matters represent a cross-section of engagements for founders, licensors, product teams, and public companies. Names are disclosed with client consent; some figures are aggregated or rounded under confidentiality agreements.
Matters where advice changed the trajectory of a product, a partnership, or a portfolio.
A supply chain software company faced a claim that its use of third-party logistics data breached a source-code licence. We identified an overbroad warranty, renegotiated the terms, and secured a $1.8M reduction in licensing fees as well as an unrestricted right to use the data in derivative works. Settlement reached after 11 weeks of mediated sessions.
For a mid-market buyer acquiring a wearable diagnostics company, we led IP due diligence and found an unrecorded patent assignment from two senior engineers. We traced the chain of title, fixed the recording, and prevented a post-closing royalty claim estimated at $4.2M. Deal closed at $31M, three weeks after this issue surfaced.
While assisting a newsroom automation startup with compliance, we designed a clearance protocol for text and image training data. The process now includes an audit log and an automated takedown channel. The company avoided a lawsuit brought by a stock photo collective; litigation that affected two similar startups.
Direct accounts from leaders across five years of engagement, covering transactional, contentious, and ongoing advisory work.
We had been behind on three patent renewals and one trademark registration for almost two years before Danis & Partners came in. They mapped the deadlines, cleared oppositions from competitors, and recovered a device classification that some peers thought abandoned.

Where our clients press hardest, their results often give shape to the legal conversation across their sector.
We guided a private-equity client to enforce broader indemnity terms on machinery purchases, which became a model clause in three other transactions in the same subsector.
Our employment inventory for a tech retailer clarified the difference between non-portable benefits and contractual expectations, allowing them to restructure their annual bonus without triggering a class claim.
By integrating capital calls with licence-side compliance under annuity guidance, our client avoided margin compression and preserved pitch eligibility for two major retail banking partners.
