Our multidisciplinary team is industry neutral and provides assistance and knowledge across the comprehensive product and business development lifecycles.
Technology is changing at breakneck speed. Today’s innovation quickly becomes tomorrow’s standard fare; however, technology is nothing but a hollow vessel, a novelty, unless it is applied in a proper context to improve operations, create efficiencies, or help people.
Mandelbaum Barrett PC’s perspective regarding Emerging Technology and the lawyer’s role is unique. Our multidisciplinary team is industry neutral – whether it is tied to the emergence of Cannabis as a medical and recreational gamechanger on American society, or cybersecurity and blockchain related technologies focused on protecting the confidentiality, privacy, authentication and integrity of data exchange, our experienced team provides assistance and knowledge across the comprehensive product and business development lifecycles.

The team is sensitive to the financial pressures facing emerging businesses, and recognizes the importance of limiting liability while allowing the company to aggressively compete and succeed in a fast-paced marketplace. Mandelbaum Barrett PC sees its role as legal counsel to be one of facilitation, rather than restraint.
