I am a shareholder (partner) at Greenberg Traurig and an intellectual property attorney counseling on all forms of IP, focusing on computer- and electronics-implemented tech from networking and NLP to devices, digital health, life sciences AI, and computational biology. I leverage my prior experience as a software engineer overseeing product development and rollout to ensure my advice is tailored to each client’s unique products and business plans. To help my clients weigh all options, my IP counseling runs the gamut from open source policy through to patent and trade secret, including protecting rights, licensing, diligence, enforcing/litigating, and defending against infringement accusations. I have both successfully invalidated bogus software patents asserted against my clients, and successfully defended software patents I wrote and prosecuted from being invalidated by competitors. I’ve been named one of the top "Under 40" IP attorneys in Massachusetts multiple years running and was top-recommended patent attorney in a recent survey of over 1,000 Boston-area startups.My clients build products in a range of fields, from fundamentals like operating systems and networks, to applications like machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, and fintech. I have a particular focus on life sciences and medtech products like digital health, healthcare AI, med device, and bioinformatics/computational bio, and serve on the board of a regional medtech industry group. I’ve written and presented throughout the U.S. and in Europe on best practices for protecting AI-driven tech.While I serve as lead outside counsel for many large companies, I have a soft spot for counseling growing companies on IP and volunteer with clinics mentoring student entrepreneurs. I closely study legal developments surrounding software and best practices for software IP, and often present/publish on the topic, allowing me to help clients protect their inventions despite rapid evolution of both the law and the tech.* Client Testimonial: "I really appreciate your technical depth - as a software developer myself with an entirely C.S. background, it’s been difficult in the past to relay new software concepts when even the foundations are a struggle to communicate. But with you bringing to the table an already in-depth background and experience with software development, it’s clear that we were able to discuss just what was new, and you were able to flesh out all of the supporting details - new and old - that we didn’t even have to discuss. I greatly appreciate that!"
