• In employment matters, Nancy is available to assist both employers and employees regarding any issues that might arise out of the employment relationship, including counseling and training, drafting employment agreements, litigating employment disputes, or managing dispute resolution.

• Nancy is also available to assist clients in the protection of their intellectual property, including copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks.   Whether helping to safeguard your intellectual property rights through internal protections, contracts, or litigation or defending you against claims of misuse or infringement, she is there to provide you with the services you need.
