In June 2014, after working for nearly 19 years at leading legal institutions for a broad spectrum of domestic and international clients, I left "big law" to start my own firm. I decided to take this step in response to the continuing changes impacting our economy and the legal marketplace, so that I may focus on serving the needs of corporate and individual clients, and helping them address their problems and challenges in the most creative, expeditious and cost-effective manner possible. Because of my substantial experience working on a wide variety of legal matters, I am prepared to help you in any or all of these areas: • Business Litigation, Mediation & Arbitration • Trials and Appeals • Contracts, Agreements & Licensing • Copyrights & Trademarks/Branding • Technology Law • Entertainment & Media • Internet & E-Commerce • Partnership and Shareholder Disputes • Securities, Financial & Broker-Dealer Disputes I am also an adjunct member of the IP faculty at Columbia University School of Law, where I have been teaching law students since 2002. I am a frequent writer and speaker, and serve on the boards of various legal and technology organizations. I have been quoted or interviewed by ABC News, BBC, BNA, Businessweek, CBC News (Canada), The Economic Times (India), Financial Times, Forbes, The Guardian (UK), National Law Journal, The New York Times, Thomson Reuters/West, Law360, Managing IP, Variety, Voice of America and World IP Review, among others. I am admitted to practice in New York, New Jersey, the U.S. Courts of Appeal for the Second, Third, Seventh and Federal Circuits, and the U.S. Supreme Court. I received my J.D. from Columbia University School of Law, and my undergraduate degree from Columbia College.
