I am a lawyer and entrepreneur with a multidisciplinary practice focused on intellectual property, media and entertainment law. In my role as a trusted advisor, I am the primary attorney for my clients, reporting directly to a company's executive staff and/or its General Counsel. My responsibilities include providing advice to business units and executives on copyright, trademark, ecommerce, software/IT, media & entertainment and issues associated with creating and commercializing innovations and creative content, drafting and negotiating contracts and licenses, advising on securities laws and corporate governance and managing outside counsel. My clients frequently rely on me to successfully draft and negotiate complex commercial and intellectual property transactions such as supply/distribution agreements, IP development and license agreements and documentation related to mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.
