IP MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS
A contract is only as good as the other party involved. If the other party becomes financially distressed, resulting in problems with performance of the contract, your company may face significant challenges, particularly if it is a sole-source or other long-term arrangement.
These challenges could include:
-
Getting solid information from the financially distressed contra party.
-
Identifying key insolvency risks and drafting the best available solution.
-
Striking the right balance to preserve relationships and the value of the contract while protecting your company’s interests.
-
Addressing how contracts will be treated if one party goes bankrupt or becomes insolvent.

MINORITY, WOMEN, AND VETERAN-OWNED BUSINESSES
There is a surging growth in underserved markets and women, minority and veteran-owned businesses. Many public and private sector enterprises are striving to do their part to help close the funding gap for those businesses. While official certification as a women-, minority- or veteran-owned business comes with benefits, the process and requirements can be complex and daunting.
At ELO, we are passionate about helping businesses owned and controlled by women, minorities and veterans thrive. We understand their unique needs and challenges and are familiar with the programs and processes designed to benefit them. We work with the client to provide the comprehensive guidance and representation these critical businesses need to position themselves for success.
We help clients negotiate their way through the complex maze of applications and compliance necessary to obtain official certification as a women-, minority- or veteran-owned business.

DATA PRIVACY & CYBERSECURITY
Organizations of all sizes and across all industries encounter extraordinary challenges in managing the security of their data — from personally identifiable information, trade secrets, intellectual property, and other confidential information. This critical data must be securely managed in compliance with constantly evolving laws and regulations and in a manner consistent with a company’s best practices. In a dynamic legal landscape, businesses need a legal team that can help mitigate risks and respond to the unexpected.
ELO continuously strives to remain at the forefront on these issues to help clients not only comply with the law, but also seize opportunities to capitalize on the power in their information to grow and better serve their purposes.
ELO helps clients assess their compliance conformance. We identify areas in need of improvement and/or immediate attention, and help our clients implement measures to address and correct them. And when challenges arise, ELO stands ready to assist clients in conducting a timely and methodical response.
