Business attorney with concentrations in intellectual property and franchising.

I practice in the areas of patent, trademark, copyright and licensing law with an emphasis on client counseling and the selection and protection of enforceable intellectual property assets. I have extensive experience in assisting clients with the development of global branding strategies and I have performed numerous intellectual property audits and due diligence reviews. I assist individuals and corporations by understanding their business and helping them implement processes to better align efforts between legal, marketing, and technology. By doing so, my clients achieve a risk reduced approach to protecting and promoting their intellectual property, both in the United States and abroad.

Additionally, I assist franchise and distribution clients with a wide variety of corporate and franchise legal issues, including structuring programs, drafting agreements and disclosure documents, obtaining appropriate registrations, protecting intellectual property, and resolving relationship issues and disputes. My unique combination of intellectual property, corporate, and franchise experience allows me to provide comprehensive legal services to companies growing or joining franchise systems.

Within these practice areas, I represent a diverse client portfolio, from start-ups to mature companies with multi-national operations. With my broad range of transactional and litigation experience, I am able to provide general counsel to my clients, collaboratively maturing their businesses from infancy to prominence within their various industries.
