About
Having worked in numerous different industries before my legal career, I am very comfortable speaking and empathizing with clients with very different backgrounds and interests. At the same time, I have a deep understanding of all aspects of intellectual property law, domestically and internationally, and can often think of creative, cost-efficient solutions to legal issues.
I am passionate about intellectual property in all forms and the creations it protects.
