For anyone building out their data rights strategy in the life sciences, I can confidently say there is no better attorney than Roger Kuan. Not only is he a leader in understanding how to create and protect value for companies in the life sciences, he understand both sides of the table and knows how to protect your company's interest while giving your partners what they want. When you work with Roger, expect him to be all in, transparent, and very clear on what you're going to come out of the deal with. He lays out every scenario for you on a whiteboard and will move as fast as necessary to get the deal done. When interacting with our partners, he carries himself in a professional, firm, yet respectful manner, ensuring both parties will advance the deal forward. Data rights are a life sciences company's fuel for growth. Roger will position your company for success in a field known to be extremely convoluted. You are working with the person that wrote the book on how to protect and to capitalize on data rights.

Roger and his firm have be an invaluable asset to my company as we have moved through our journey of assessing and then protecting our IP resulting in a US and International patent application. Roger brings a unique perspective to this process given his science background and his experience in industry. He helped us through both the strategic and legal questions and is a valued partner for my company. I would highly recommend Roger and his firm to anyone working in the molecular and genomics space.
