Beeman & Muchmore, LLP

After decades in BigLaw, we formed Beeman & Muchmore, LLP to provide tailored software licensing and audit defense counseling -- Oracle and otherwise -- outside the confines of large-scale full service law firms. We were the litigation team for Mars, Inc. when it sued software giant Oracle Corporation in the course of a license audit—to date, Mars v. Oracle remains the only public filing by a licensee challenging Oracle’s deeply unpopular licensing and auditing practices. Since then, we have represented scores of licensees—from small businesses to global enterprises—in their disputes with Oracle and, increasingly, other major software vendors. We have leveraged these years of recurring disputes to create a value proposition for our clients—our goal is to protect our clients’ interests while avoiding costly and wasteful litigation.
