B. Contracts

What is the most important contract or contractual relationship your firm has entered into? Who is the other party to the contract? Do you expect both parties to honor the contract?

C. Intellectual Property

What is the single-most valuable type of intellectual property that your firm owns? How did your firm acquire the legal rights to this intellectual property?

D. Litigation

What is the most important lawsuit (or potential lawsuit) your firm is currently facing today? Is your firm the “plaintiff” or the “defendant” in this case? And if this case were to go to court today, which side is most likely to win and why?
