What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my IP expertise while fostering innovation and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am a detail-oriented Patent Attorney with a strong foundation in both technical and legal aspects of intellectual property law. My experience spans across patent, design, trademark, and copyright law, with a proven track record in drafting, prosecution, and strategic advisory. I have successfully led patent practices, serving as the primary point of contact for key clients, and managing a team of associates and technical drafters.

Throughout my career, I have handled complex opposition matters and provided strategic client advisory on claim scope and litigation preparedness. My work in various domains, including software, AI, biotech, and energy, has equipped me with the skills to navigate intricate legal landscapes. I am passionate about mentoring junior team members and contributing to knowledge initiatives within my field.
