Bennett Sigmond’s Summary

OVERVIEW

Over the course of a 25-year legal career, I have negotiated, documented and closed hundreds of complex business deals, each worth between a million and a billion dollars. My clients have included Fortune 500 companies. I have worked with people in most of the 50 states and at least 6 countries. My background in Computer Science has enabled me practice patent law as a registered patent attorney and to develop custom software when needed to solve a problem specific to a deal or to a law office.
