Cassie Edgar

About

Boutique at the intersection of science and law across licensing, intellectual property, and regulatory law. Serving as virtual general counsel. I serve as a strategic advisor and board-level resource for companies managing regulatory risk, IP monetization, and commercialization strategy in highly regulated markets. My work supports biotechnology, agtech, and healthcare organizations navigating complex regulatory environments, including FDA, USDA, and EPA requirements, where legal decisions directly impact growth, valuation, and market access. I counsel leadership teams on IP portfolio strategy, freedom-to-operate risk, licensing and strategic collaborations, regulatory planning, and data privacy and cybersecurity considerations. As AI-enabled research and product development rapidly expand, I also advise organizations on managing regulatory, privacy, and commercialization risk associated with data-driven innovation and emerging technologies. My focus is practical, business-oriented counsel designed to protect enterprise value and support scalable growth.
