I am a Patent Attorney and Intellectual Property Counsel for life sciences, green technology, medical device and other (i.e. non-life sciences) technology clients.  I provide patent prosecution, portfolio management, opinions, due diligence, and litigation support as well as other services for in-house legal departments.

I served as in-house IP counsel for two companies and served many more in private practice. I know that the IP needs of my clients are more than just legal matters. IP plays a critical role in business models, business valuations, decision-making, and risk management. IP can define what products are brought to market, drive licensing opportunities, generate revenue streams, and provide leverage over competitors. 

Thus, I strive to be viewed by my clients as a business partner. I learn about my clients from both a technical and business perspective. I integrate their IP matters with their needs and business goals. I provide the kind of “big-picture” counseling that helps decision-makers meet those needs and goals. As a small firm practitioner, I provide efficient and cost-effective services.
