Personal Introduction
I am a creative and dynamic litigator with comprehensive and hands-on experience in highly complex commercial and intellectual property cases, including copyright, trade secret, trade dress, ownership of IP rights, employment litigation, and management of several federal and state court matters. I firmly believe that leadership and success are achieved through the development of trust, empathy, and the understanding of clients' objectives in inclusive and diverse environments. I collaborate in initiatives that influence all aspects of the business and work with cross-functional teams to develop case facts and facilitate discovery. As an experienced litigator, I analyze, understand, spot legal issues, and develop solutions, and make recommendations that aid decision-making by upper management. I interact with in-house and outside legal teams to proactively assess legal risks and advise on evolving technologies creating precedent. I have demonstrated my ability to secure long-standing relationships with clients. Along with counseling clients, I interact with insurance adjusters, local counsel, and industry experts by leveraging exceptional multi-industry knowledge as well as strong communication skills. I'm a highly adaptive litigator maximizing available resources to ensure favorable results for clients. This background has made me a decision-maker driven by data analysis and enhanced my leadership experience in managing a team of associates. Through effective delegation and team management, I have ensured that deadlines and budgets were met. I’m a professional deeply committed to the highest standards of ethics and personal excellence.
