An IP law firm is the right call for litigation: lawsuits, seizures, and cases that need a courtroom. The mismatch is using one for daily marketplace enforcement, where the work is high-volume, repetitive, and procedural.

Most Shopify Plus brands need daily enforcement first and a litigator rarely. A takedown service handles the daily grind at a flat rate, and hands counsel a clean evidence file if a case ever needs court.
