“We view Austin as a market that has weathered the recession, and is now positioned for extraordinary growth, especially in the technology sector,” said Enrico Schaefer, managing partner of the firm. “We want to be there for those companies to help them achieve their business objectives.”

 

Schaefer added that technology companies are not the only entities in Austin that can benefit from Traverse Legal.

 

“These days, every company has a website, and is confronting legal issues related to their online presence.” said Schaefer. “Since we understand the internet and the back-end technology that drives it, we can help.”

 

One of Traverse Legal’s Austin clients is Choosewhat.com, a rapidly growing internet company starting 4 years ago, which now employs 16 full-time employees.  The office will be managed by attorney Robert Kleinman.

 

“Robert is a skilled and aggressive litigator, who enthusiastically represents the interests of his clients,” said Schaefer. “His complex litigation and class action cases have received national attention in the U.S. Robert also has extensive international experience, and he has secured trademark and intellectual property rights for his clients in over 50 counties.”

 

“Robert is one of a handful of trademark practitioners in the U.S. to have attained registration of an advanced 3-dimensional trademark with the USPTO.”
