Cristóbal Raddatz Momberg
Founding Partner at Amitai & Raddatz

“I founded Amitai & Raddatz a year ago in Chile, as a boutique firm specialized in intellectual property. For the nature of our work and the need of our clients to protect their intangible assets in other countries is that we are always looking to strengthen our network of contacts.

It was in that search that I discovered NEXL, finding a platform with an intuitive and user-friendly interface that fulfils the purpose I was waiting for to strengthen my network of contacts.

NEXL has helped me grow my network to better support my clients as well as successfully source new business.“

Business Development Master Class

For any business to succeed, it is crucial that leaders have a clear idea of their business vision and mission, as well as a compelling strategy to help them to get there. Without a solid strategy, businesses will be overwhelmed by competitors and market forces. Business development is a vital step for everyone that seeks to grow their company into an industry leader. Getting a competitive advantage in the marketplace demands a complete understanding of business development. Developing a business requires more than just sales. It’s also about relationships, surpassing the competition, and demonstrating real value. Business development is also about communication, from cold-calling potential customers to preserving long-term relationships, to sharing ideas and knowledge with colleagues and stakeholders. Therefore the business developer must be able to talk with confidence, as well as being empathic and open minded to be able to address others’

Francine Tone

Managing Partner

- United States

Today, your ability to connect and build trust virtually is as important as your ability to do so in person. Yet, the environment is different and what works in person doesn’t necessarily work in the virtual world. Let’s fix that. TRUST is at the center of busy professional lives: Trust in yourself, and with business associates, clients, friends, and family. When you make building trust a core competency, you start Building a Business/Practice that Builds a Life. The TOOLS that build trust build businesses and build lives. Isn’t it time to get off the hamster wheel of “busy all the time” and more of the same and start building instead? The end result is better connections with colleagues and clients, and a more humane law practice. Attorneys and Law Firms hire Francine to realign their relationship with their profession because most are struggling with stress, burnout, sheer exhaustion, and unsatisfactory business growth. So she helps re-ignite their passion and purpose, crystalize innovative thinking, and implement business practices that improve the bottom line. Bottom line, you grow your practice and live your life with a smile.

THERE’S IP IN EVERYTHING WE DO ® From entrepreneurship to authorship, ownership, relationships, and inventorship, you have IP that’s worth protecting. That’s where I come in. Partnering with clients of all sizes, from solo practitioners and startups to Fortune 500 companies, I procure, defend, and enforce IP rights and resolve IP disputes in a variety of industries, including healthcare, engineering, media, real estate, banking, technology, and manufacturing, among others. I have partnered with clients to protect a variety of technologies, such as aerospace components, medical devices, automotive seating, electronics, electrical sensor and safety systems, superchargers, differentials, fueling systems, plastic containers, automotive interior components, engine controllers, engine testing equipment, digital shearography and image processing, manufacturing equipment, aluminum fencing, cellular communications, and software, just to name a few. WATCH OUT FOR IP IN M&A IP can sometimes become an afterthought in corporate transactions. As your IP Business Partner, I can help efficiently and effectively navigate the unique issues presented when transferring or modifying ownership of rights in IP assets. DEDICATED TO IP Prior to joining Fishman Stewart, I was an associate in the intellectual property group of a general practice AmLaw 200 law firm. As part of a general practice firm, I gained incredible experience and insight into a wide range of industries and legal issues.

I enjoy being part of the IP community and was on the executive board of the Michigan Intellectual Property Law Association (MIPLA) for several year. I have also been an active member of the Michigan IP Inn of Court since 2015. IP EDUCATION I received a B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, with minors in Mathematics and Economics. I worked for several years as a manufacturing intern and an electrical engineering intern while completing my degree. I attended law school at DePaul University in Chicago, which has been ranked as one of the top law schools for IP in the country. While in law school, I focused on IP, earning a certificate in patent law and working in DePaul’s Technology and Intellectual Property Law Clinic. In addition, my team and I won the National Intellectual Property Transactional LawMeet and received the award for best term sheet. BUSINESS EDUCATION In additional to Minors in Mathematics (largely focused on finance) and Economics, I furthered my business education to better understand the perspectives and needs of my clients at DePaul’s Kellstadt Graduate School of Business, earning an MBA with distinction and a concentration in Finance. WORLD CLASS QUALITY, MIDWEST VALUE ® We provide world class service with Midwest value, so whether you’re looking to start an IP program or take your current program to the next level, I look forward to working with you!
