Mr. Wernick brings more than 27 years of experience focused almost exclusively on technology, intellectual property, data privacy/security transactions, and related legal matters. He has extensive contract negotiating and drafting experience, and has served as an arbitrator/mediator. That experience, coupled with a background in computer programming, technology and accounting, enables him to provide practical strategic advice and realistic risk assessments. His nationally recognized practice since 1982 focuses on providing sensible and tactical legal advice to clients on significant information technology, electronic commerce, intellectual property, data privacy/security transactions, and dispute management. Mr. Wernick’s experience includes virtually every type of information technology contract and transaction. He serves as a counselor and advocate for his clients in the management and resolution of a wide range of legal disputes, including analysis of potential risks, dispute avoidance, negotiation of settlements, and guidance through litigation, appeals, and the arbitration/mediation processes. A frequent lecturer and writer (whose publications include an Info Tech Law column for Chicago Lawyer magazine), he is recognized in The International Who's Who of Internet & e-Commerce Lawyers 2009, as a Leading Lawyer in Computer & Technology Law, and as a Martindale-Hubbell® AV rated attorney. Mr. Wernick’s professional activities include serving on Advisory Boards for publications by BNA (Electronic Commerce & Law Report) and Wolters Kluwer (Guide to Computer Law), and as a member of the Alumni Board for the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University. Since 1984 he has served as an arbitrator on many panels involved with technology user/vendor disputes, IP, and/or licensing disputes. From this perspective, he has been able to observe how other parties put technology deals together, how they fall apart, and how other lawyers do their lawyering.
Mr. Wernick is licensed to practice in IL, NY, OH, and DC. He is a member of the American Bar Association (and is the Editor of the e-Newsletter for the Cyberspace Law Committee of the Business Section), the Ohio State Bar Association (where he was the founding chairman of the Digital Technology Law Committee), and Chicago’s North Suburban Bar Association.
