Well, today is a big day for Axanar as we signed with Winston & Strawn, one of the top IP litigation firms in the country, to defend us in the CBS/Paramount lawsuit on a pro-bono basis.
We had our kick-off meeting, signed the paperwork and discussed the case. I can tell you I feel great having two such amazing people, let alone, such awesome attorneys, defending Axanar.
Winston & Strawn attorneys Erin Ranahan and Andrew Jick with Alec Peters
Erin was named one of Hollywood’s New Leaders in Variety magazine in 2014. You can read that article here.

Kick ass!
Good luck to you Alec and the Axanar crew.????????????
Outstanding!
This is amazing news! I hope this all will lead to a reasonable and good solution for everybody involved!
Hang in there guys, you’ve got a lot of fans rooting for you!
Best of luck, hope we get a fair resolution that will benefit to all parties especially the fans of Star Trek.
This is going get interesting and I wish you the best of luck. The actions taken by CBS against Axanar annoy me so much, I might just have to re-name my upcoming Kickstarter to include the Trek name.
