Areas of Practice

Intellectual Property

Ideas, tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive creative market. With so many channels and constantly replenishing feeds to watch out for, tracing the ownership and originality of a design, brand name, or invention needs the laser-focused eye of a trained attorney. I’ll handle the search, application, and filing process of trademarks, copyrights, and patents. And if your idea has been infringed upon, I will negotiate the best possible licensing and settlement agreements.

Demystifying patent law is a discipline that blends technical precision with strategy. It requires foresight, careful structuring, and, often, empathy for the inventor’s journey. At its core, innovation is profoundly personal and valuable. I guide clients through a structured process that includes patent searches, application drafting, prosecution, and enforcement. In many cases, negotiation or licensing provides the most rewarding outcomes. However, when necessary, I am fully prepared to pursue litigation to protect and enforce patent rights. From solo inventors and startups to established companies, my clients walk away from their matters confident that their most important interests have been safeguarded.

In today’s competitive market, a brand name or logo can be a business’s most valuable asset. With endless new products, companies, and online sellers emerging daily, protecting your mark requires strategic and precise legal guidance. I manage the search, application, and registration process so your trademark is secure from the start. And if your brand is challenged or infringed, I advocate for strong enforcement through negotiation, licensing, or litigation to ensure your identity in the marketplace stays exclusively yours.

Entertainment

The world of entertainment is ever-growing and evolving, and I’m not just talking about sound trends. With the consistent introduction of varying revenue streams and distribution channels, the opportunity for profit grows, but so does the complexity. I take pride in clearly explaining and navigating the often foggy landscape of entertainment law and its relationship to entertainment industry professionals of all types. I help my clients draft and negotiate contracts relating to recording, publishing, licensing and distribution, sponsorship, and merchandising.

Creative works—whether music, writing, photography, film, or digital media—are among the most valuable assets in today’s content-driven world. With the constant flow of online sharing and distribution, protecting ownership and originality requires the focused eye of a copyright attorney. I guide clients through the registration process, ensuring their works receive the strongest possible protection. And if your rights are infringed, I work to secure favorable licensing, settlements, or litigation outcomes so your creative voice remains protected and profitable.
