No one can afford any illusions—the COVID-19 pandemic is the game-changer of our lifetime. Across all industries, the only thing that anyone knows for certain is that “business as usual” is a thing of the past. As the aging models that have dominated the distribution of legal services for decades come under increasing scrutiny, the legal industry is facing a degree of turmoil that it hasn’t seen for generations. With our combined decades as partners in the largest and most prominent law firms in the country, Beeman & Muchmore believe that the legal industry is best served by embracing change rather than resisting it. Although the pandemic has brought an immediacy to grappling with the future, the transformation in our industry has been underway for some time.
It is no secret—businesses of all types and sizes are reimagining their legal services, handling an increasing range of needs in-house and—for the balance—seeking highly specialized counseling that can be delivered free of the inefficiencies that burden traditional full-service law firms. We believe these trends will usher our profession to new heights of accountability and effectiveness. Accordingly, we are proud to launch Beeman & Muchmore, LLP —a new law firm specially designed to meet the emerging needs and demands of the new world.
We have represented companies of all sizes, in all industries, handling all types of matters that go to the heart of essential business operations.
We have a turn-key proficiency handling software licensing and auditing disputes with Oracle Corporation and other prominent global software vendors.
Our experience in handling recurring licensing and auditing disputes has uniquely positioned us to extricate companies from their dispute while avoiding costly litigation.
Our unique practice model allows us to deliver our highly-specialized counseling free from an inefficient and costly infrastructure.

When we recently shared a blog post about Oracle vs Envisage, we promised that we would keep you informed of important developments as that matter unfolded. Here we are, scarcely a week later, reporting that the matter is likely … going away.
What is the Oracle licensee to make of this development? Two back-to-back anomalies? Or a stunning new chapter in Oracle’s ever-changing playbook?
Are you worried that your company may be targeted by the “second wave” of aggressive software license auditors (such as Micro Focus and/or Quest)? Are you familiar with the peculiar incentives behind these and other newly aggressive software auditors? Bottom line: you probably should be.
At the end of last month, we had the pleasure of participating in Podcast Episode 104: Oracle’s New Audit Approach: How Should ITAM Teams Prepare?
Now included in the LicenseFortress Premier subscription – at no additional cost – Beeman & Muchmore will provide legal counseling regarding how companies can deploy their technology to best avoid license violations.
