As an entrepreneur myself, I know how important it is to protect your brand and your business. This is one of the many reasons why I choose to focus my practice on Intellectual Property (IP) matters and the needs of Start-Up Businesses.. My interest in IP was initially sparked by increasing music piracy issues arising from peer-to-peer networks in the early 2000's. From this interest arose my passion in seeking to protect innovators and entrepreneurs alike.. Prior to attending law school, I worked professionally for a non-profit association management firm and subsequently for an educational textbook company dealing primarily with IP compliance.
