Information Technology and Licensing.

Businesses that want to license or develop software, or contract for third party development of software, will find Mr. Wiemerslage's and Ms. Utech's skills and expertise as an information technology attorney very useful, especially in drafting and negotiating many types of I.T. contracts and statements of work. Your business may have intellectual property that could be licensed to receive royalties. Mr. Wiemerslage can also help with the intellectual property areas of copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets.

Environmental Law.

Companies that have environmental issues, such as oil and gas companies, commercial and industrial land developers, and others with regulatory concerns, will appreciate Mr. Wiemerslage's more than 19 years experience in the environmental field as an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency attorney and a Fortune 100 oil and gas environmental attorney.   With the June 2007 changes under Colorado House Bill 1341 to the composition of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("COGCC") with its new emphasis on representation from environmental interests and the reduction of the number of members with experience in the oil and gas industry, Mr. Wiemerslage's 11 years of experience at the Illinois EPA with public hearings and understanding of the environmental perspective will be of increased value to parties before the COGCC.

Records Management.

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure now provides that electronically stored records are subject to discovery demands in litigation. It is important to note that even if a company has not yet been sued, it the company reasonably anticipates being sued, then the company must take steps to preserve its records, including electronically stored records.  This is normally done by your attorney or records management officer issuing a litigation hold order stopping the normal deletion of records, such as e-mails, backup tapes, etc.  It is vital to have a good records management system to know what records your company has, how long to retain them if there is no hold order, and to be able to stop destruction when litigation is anticipated in which those records may be relevant. If your company deletes relevant records after litigation is anticipated, a court may sanction your company very harshly.  Mr. Wiemerslage was the records management attorney for a Fortune 100 company for five years and can assist your company in setting up and maintaining your records management program so your company will be better prepared in case there is litigation.
