Practice Summary
I offer experienced general counsel services to entrepreneurs, founders, inventors, product managers, executives, and C-suite leadership. I help them navigate decisions, tasks, and execution involved in launching new companies, products, and services. As transactional counsel, I draft, negotiate, and close technology, business, commercial, and intellectual property transactions ranging widely in size, complexity, risk, and reward, with impact and stakes that sometimes can be defining or transforming for individuals, teams, and companies. As product counsel, I've led and supported legal compliance, rights clearance, IP, marketing, sales, and distribution-related tasks for launching innovative products and services. As intellectual property counsel, I specialize in patent and copyright strategy, tactics, and execution. I have experience in defining and initiating programs, building teams, negotiating license deals, and monetizing patent portfolios.
