Intellectual property rights are among the most important assets that a company owns, so it is crucial that I understand my clients’ businesses and their overall objectives from the outset. As an IP litigator, my field is constantly evolving, so I have to think creatively and see the big picture beyond the traditional stages of litigation. I am deeply curious, and I partner with my clients to understand their specific challenges and create strategies that allow us to best fulfill their business goals.
