Tim Saulsbury is an IP litigation partner at MoFo. Tim's story is about doing the up-front work. Whether it’s:

• commanding the technical record to make the most out of trial advocacy, 
• looking for creative early wins, or
• building a moat in Japan with relationship-driven client development

Tim anticipates risks by taking a client-centric view of what success looks like and builds a responsive practice.
