On this episode of CI Press, hosts Jeremy Clark and Ryan Rambo interview Dave Hyams of Longship Legal about aligning legal strategy with business goals to protect intellectual property – patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets – and increase company valuation.

They cover practical steps for companies: auditing confidential assets, writing and enforcing policies, employee training, operational controls, incident response playbooks, and the challenges of multinational teams, NDAs, and non-competes.

Dave shares his journey from big law to strategic legal advisory and offers guidance for scaling companies and founders on fractional legal support and proactive protection of what matters most.
