Client Review

I was a client of Ellen several years ago. She moved from Silicon Valley to another state, therefore we had to make a change. She is efficient, smart, gives practical and well thought through advise. Some of the work that she did for us are still in effect and serving us very well. If she decide...s to return to practice here, we would like to work with her again.

Contracts and agreements lawyer | Feb 07

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Ellen is an excellent technical lawyer in a variety of IP and licensing fields, including mergers and acquisition. What distinguishes her is a very practical approach to transactions (she gets deals done for clients) and outstanding client service. Her experience as in-house counsel at Amazon.com has helped her to understand the practical implications of her legal advice. Ellen is also a terrific person to work with. She is an exceptional teacher, mentor, and recruiter. So many of her co-workers describe her as the "glue of the office"."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
