Amdahl Corporation

Karen Zucker
Senior Counsel

"Energy. Creativity. Knowledge. Integrity. When Cohen Mohr represented Amdahl Corporation and five other information technology leaders in their protest of bias in the procurement practices of the U.S. Navy, these qualities were the arsenal of our winning strategy.

On behalf of the "Gang of Six", Cohen Mohr pursued our position with intensity, evaluating all of our alternatives and representing the group on all fronts--- in negotiations, pre-litigation, and Congressional hearings. The firm had the acumen to steer our cause in the right direction and the in-depth technical knowledge to make the strongest possible case. And the personal commitment of the firm's lawyers set the tone for a unified, cooperative effort among six fiercely competitive companies and commanded respect from those with whom we were negotiating."

John Gray
President

"Entrepreneurs operate in a high-stakes business environment where success is dependent on total commitment and an enormous personal investment. Cohen Mohr appreciates the special issues and concerns of entrepreneurial business people. I had been with Philips Electronics® for 15 years when I made the decision to buy out the company's software development businesses. Compact disc-interactive technology had dramatic untapped potential and I wanted to tap it.

It was an exhilarating experience to put together the deals that would create an entirely new company. I knew that the immediate strategies involved in negotiating and executing the agreements would shape the direction of the company for years to come. I needed a lawyer who would handle the negotiations delicately and craft the contracts with utmost care---someone who would think outside of the box and was comfortable working around the periphery of problems to find legal solutions to business obstacles. In short, I wanted both an accomplished lawyer and a professional advisor.

Cohen Mohr offered a distinctive combination of legal expertise and technical understanding. They had a command of the assets we were dealing with and the options available to protect key and proprietary technologies. In a period of a few short weeks, Cohen Mohr helped me manage the process of buying three different business units, involving dozens of contracts and multiple strategic agreements.

As general counsel to pmpro on all of our day-to-day legal concerns, Cohen Mohr brings the same commitment and investment that laid the groundwork for a successful business enterprise. Whether structuring custom contracts, reviewing software and consulting agreements, or advising the company on intellectual property protection issues, Cohen Mohr continues to be an invaluable strategic and legal advisor."

Government Micro Resources

Bob Slocum
President

"In building and maintaining technical systems for sophisticated government and commercial clients, Government Micro Resources is single-mindedly focused on anticipating future technologies and finding ways to make those technologies work.

As our legal counsel, Cohen Mohr takes the same forward-thinking approach to identifying legal opportunities and risks for our company. For more than a decade, Cohen Mohr has helped Government Micro Resources anticipate and respond to business and legal developments as we have grown to a $135 million company of 225 employees. In the late 1980s, Cohen Mohr guided us effectively through the maze of technical and regulatory requirements for our first government contract---a contract that was the cornerstone of the company's phenomenal growth. Since that time, Cohen Mohr has been part of our team---working with us closely and over time on the full range of legal issues that have confronted the company, and building a strong infrastructure for future growth.

Whether advising the company on the development of personnel policies and employment practices to protect our valuable relationships, identifying potential business or partnering opportunities, or representing the firm in high-stakes litigation, Cohen Mohr has the focus and the vision to address legal issues---not only the ones that require an immediate answer, but also those that are just appearing on the horizon. This allows us to focus on what we do best.

Big enough to serve, small enough to care. We wouldn't work with a firm that didn't share that philosophy."
