Sideman & Bancroft LLP is a premier mid-size law firm, headquartered in San Francisco, with special expertise in assisting technology and other businesses in gray market and anti-counterfeit matters. Our team includes seven former federal and state prosecutors who work with law enforcement and prosecutors throughout the country to support company brand protection programs. We have a particular focus on assisting in criminal referrals of sales and discount fraud, warranty fraud, and counterfeit trafficking matters. We help companies identify, assemble, and analyze evidence that could be relevant to a successful criminal prosecution. We prepare the documents necessary to refer the matter to law enforcement, outlining the known evidence and describing the nature of the suspected criminal conduct. Because criminal enforcement is not always warranted, we have helped companies develop and implement civil programs as a component of an overall brand protection strategy, including cease and desist programs, U.S. Customs programs, channel compliance programs, and the pursuit of available civil remedies.
