Bio
Andrew Darbyshire
I have found Adam to be a consummate professional who cares about generating meaningful results. He is forthright and is not averse to telling it how it is, but also incredibly personable and a pleasure to work with. He combines a thorough knowledge of commercial law with common sense and commercial awareness, so I’m always able to expect advice and deliverables that are
Jim Goldfarb
While Adam is a terrific attorney, I consider him far more of a businessman and an entrepreneur than an attorney. Adam recognizes that his clients want solutions, not complexity or legal bills. He is willing to get involved in operations where necessary, and even knows Excel (which was a bit of a shock). He is also both funny and fun. I highly recommend working with Adam in any capacity.

May 2014 - Present
Strong Force creates value in dynamic markets by building Innovation Portfolios. We embrace early-stage uncertainty and complexity to build comprehensive patent portfolios of combinatorial innovation in technology-driven ecosystems. This enables us to capture broad value before there are indicators of product-market fit, the trigger for conventional patenting activity. As trends converge, use-cases accelerate, and product roadmaps solidify, we then help ecosystem participants realize this broad value. Our diverse competencies, senior relationships, and market-driven approach enable us to see across boundaries that trap others in isolated silos and inhibit the discovery and development of strategically valuable IP. We use our proprietary Strong Force™ Matrix to organize and combine our insights into a strategic array of thousands of potential patents, unlocking a geometric level of creation in areas untapped by other processes.
