By leveraging technology and supervising highly skilled and trained colleagues (e.g., paralegals, consultants, and less senior attorneys) on projects, I strive to achieve the best product at the best price for a client. We have found that this way we can best leverage each team member's strengths for the client's good. Using this model, we have represented individuals, start-ups, universities, and some of the world's largest companies very efficiently and successfully. Professionally, I have worked in most areas of intellectual property law (patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and related litigation), with a special emphasis in the chemical and life sciences areas (e.g., drugs, natural products, vaccines, biotechnology, gene therapy, medical devices, cosmetics, etc.) I have represented people and companies in various litigation matters including after grant proceedings at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, in due diligence analysis and opinions, in protecting clients' brands, in analyzing worldwide patent positions of various parties, and in negotiations. DISCLAIMERS: "My Profile" is made available for informational purposes only, and is provided with the understanding that it does not constitute the rendering of legal or other professional advice. Nothing herein (including Recommendations and Endorsements) should be used to form an expectation that the same results could be obtained for other clients in similar matters without reference to the specific factual and legal circumstances of each client’s case. Similarly, no representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than legal services performed by other lawyers. Finally, this profile might be considered advertising in some jurisdictions, and I am responsible for this profile's content.
