When might a business need a receiver?

Businesses may get into trouble in any number of ways. Overfunding of Jawbone, which aimed to take on Fitbit, has led to the company’s liquidation. At Hampton Creek, makers of Just Mayo, the entire board just resigned, clouding the company’s future.

Not all situations are right for the appointment of a receiver. However, if owners in a dispute become deadlocked, or the board or staff resigns, a receiver can preserve a business or allow for orderly liquidation. If you need the services of a receiver, Asterion’s experienced staff may be able to assist you.

Will prolonged IP litigation exhaust your resources?

Intellectual Property can be your company’s most valuable asset, but it can also become a liability if you are sued.  Litigation against the photographer whose camera was used by a monkey to take a selfie has drained his resources as the case goes to the 9th Circuit.

If you’ve been sued or are considering IP litigation, the professionals at Asterion can help determine the value of your IP assets and help you decide on a sound financial strategy.
