Cades Schutte is a full-service law firm with over 70 attorneys. Cades provides superior service in 20 practice areas from its main office in Honolulu and offices in Kailua-Kona and Waimea. Since the founding of the firm in 1922, Cades attorneys have been called on to serve as counsel in some of the most notable cases and deals in the State of Hawaii. We offer a wide range of services with an emphasis on business counseling. We are proud to serve local, national, and international clients. While we may be thought of as a business law firm, we also offer estate planning, tax, and personal litigation services.

Our Intellectual Property practice group concentrates on all aspects of intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and right of publicity) and its exploitation, including computer law, entertainment and media law, and licensing. We represent individual inventors, large corporations, advertising agencies, manufacturers, distributors, consultants, and many others in intellectual property matters, including transactional matters and infringement (including anti-counterfeiting) litigation. Our firm has the most experience in intellectual property litigation in Hawaii. We also obtain and license intellectual property rights in the US and (through an extensive network of foreign correspondents) foreign countries.
