Services

• Intellectual Property Litigation

  I handle complex patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret disputes for clients ranging from market leaders to startups. With deep technical expertise and a thorough understanding of clients' goals, I represent them in federal and state courts, USPTO, ITC, and appeals, including PTAB trials. Whether navigating high-stakes litigation against competitors or nonpracticing entities (NPEs), I excel at delivering results in challenging cases.

• Complex Commercial Litigation

  I tackle complex legal disputes with creative, tailored strategies, representing clients in trial, appellate courts, administrative tribunals, and arbitration. Known for finding solutions where others can't, I work with startups and industry leaders alike. I take the time to understand each client's business, technology, and goals, ensuring a precise approach. While I explore cost-saving resolutions, I prepare every case as if it's going to trial, delivering trusted and effective representation.
