After graduating at the top of my class from Penn State, I attended Yale Law School. I was then selected from among other Yale Law graduates for a Liman Fellowship, which funded my work in the Supreme Court and Appellate Program at the MacArthur Justice Center. I left MacArthur in 2023 to found Bernicker Law.. In my transactional and advisory practice, I have assisted startups, small businesses, and nonprofits with a range of matters, including incorporation, mergers & acquisitions, trademark clearance & registration, and data privacy. I have also advised individuals, including professional athletes in the United States and England, on immigration, estate planning, and tax matters.. As a litigator, I have tried criminal cases, represented tort and housing discrimination plaintiffs, and handled civil and criminal appeals in state and federal courts across the country.. I am licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia and to represent people before federal agencies, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the First, Second, and Sixth Circuits, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. I am also qualified to advise clients on English law.. In addition to practicing law, I run a startup that is creating a collaborative legal writing platform for lawyers. I previously developed custom software tools for other legal services providers, including a tool that uses AI to summarize judicial opinions and another tool that partially automated the process of reviewing medical records in a high-profile class action lawsuit.

After a decade in corporate practice, I hung a shingle to provide tailored legal services to businesses and individuals facing complex international legal issues. I have particular experience in commercial contract negotiation and dispute resolution, M&A transactions, joint ventures, business restructuring, and international family and probate issues.. My experience includes living for 12 years in Japan as a student and legal professional, in-house positions at Japanese and American companies, and practicing as a corporate lawyer in the Washington and Tokyo offices of one of the world's largest law firms. In these roles, I helped facilitate business deals in countries around the world, including Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Britain, Canada, Chile, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Myanmar, Oman, Panama, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, and Thailand.
