About Claire
Biography
I help businesses and artists build, manage, and leverage their intellectual property assets. I provide a full range of counseling, prosecution, portfolio management, enforcement, and dispute resolution services for trademark, copyright, domain name, publishing, licensing, and agreement matters. I have practiced intellectual property law since 2001.
I provide pro bono intellectual property and other legal services to local non-profit organizations. I was also on the board of the King County Washington Women Lawyers for several years, and president of that organization in 2005.

Excellent Intellectual Property Attorney
Claire and I were partners together at one of the oldest intellectual property boutique law firms in Seattle. She is one of the finest intellectual property attorneys I have come to know over the years--respected by colleagues, staff and clients alike. I highly recommend Claire and her work.
