01 · PRACTICE

What this firm does

Robins Kaplan LLP is a United States litigation law firm that represents organisations in software license disputes, including contested vendor audit claims that move toward formal proceedings.

As a law firm, its engagements carry attorney-client privilege and the standing to litigate where an advisory firm cannot. It is most relevant once a claim is genuinely contested rather than for routine licence reconciliation.
