I know that patents demand a strategic approach – sometimes it’s about having a patent attorney who knows when not to patent. I know that coaching my kids reinvigorates my leadership and helps keep my family strong. I know we do more with 240 people than companies an order of magnitude larger than AEgis. I know leadership isn’t about having the best people. It’s about letting the best people do what they do best. I know from working with Bradley Arant Boult Cummings to protect our intellectual property that they have the best people doing what they do best.
