Helping Clients and Colleagues Navigate High-Stakes IP Cases with Intelligent Office

When you’re litigating and mediating high-stakes intellectual property (IP) cases across the country, you need more than just an office, you need a strategic partner. That’s exactly what Michael Powell found in Intelligent Office.

With more than three decades’ experience, Michael’s work with clients and colleagues involves navigating extraordinarily complex, costly legal disputes involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, and trade secrets. His practice, through Powell IP Law, LLC is fast-paced, high-level, and often global in scale. But when he needed a more flexible, efficient way to manage his practice and maintain a better work-life balance than within a large law firm with hundreds of lawyers, Intelligent Office delivered.

“Once I met the owners, their outstanding staff, and saw the impressive class A space, I knew this would be a good option for me and my firm,” Michael said.

He joined Intelligent Office in 2017, looking for a space that could serve multiple roles for his litigation and mediation practice:  a professional business location, a reliable call answering service, and a welcoming, polished space for client meetings and mediations. What he found was a true business ally.

“IO provides all of this along with outstanding assistance for my litigation and mediation practice,” he shared.

As Michael’s practice continues to attract major IP disputes, including those involving international competition and global law firms, Intelligent Office’s nationwide network provides the reach he needs. Whether he’s meeting with clients in Atlanta or mediating a case across the country, IO’s flexible workspace solutions make it possible.

“IO provides me the ability to litigate and mediate in most of the major cities in the United States where intellectual property litigation is pending.”

Michael credits much of his positive experience to the team behind the space, especially Richard Rehme and the staff who consistently deliver top-tier support.

“Richard and his team give me the local support and flexibility to effect change among global competitors and global law firms.”
