As a commercial litigation partner, my practice focuses on franchising and distribution and cannabis litigation. These two fields are both heavily regulated, and litigation in these areas requires a deep understanding of not only the standard rules of procedure and complex commercial litigation strategy, but also the impact that actions will have on regulators, franchisees, licensees, vendors, and the supply chain. I have spent my career in state and federal courts litigating claims for breach of contract, presale negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation, trademark infringement, termination, nonrenewal, and partnership disputes. I also have extensive experience with administrative actions before the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board, the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, the Washington Department of Licensing, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. I also have more than fifteen years of experience litigating claims involving residential and commercial real estate transactions.

Listed skills include Legal Research, Civil Litigation, Commercial Litigation, Legal Writing, and 6 others.
