My practice involves advising public and private companies, family businesses, and individuals, including semiconductor, software and hardware design, development, manufacturing, information technology companies, importers, logistics and e-fulfillment service providers, as well as wholesalers and retailers of a variety of consumer goods.I help clients navigate competitive business practices, prosecuting and defending business litigation matters, intellectual property matters (patent, trademark and copyright infringement), misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, high-tech software/hardware defect claims, business torts, employment and wrongful termination, environmental, and unfair competition claims. I have also assisted my clients through business, contractual, and other transactional issues ranging from rental agreements to intellectual property licenses.In 2018, Lex Machina released the “Top Law Firm Report for Select Federal Litigation” which confirmed that my extensive trademark litigation practice led my prior firm, the Tingley Law Group, to be ranked in the top ten nationally (#8) for defending trademark claims. The attorneys from Tingley Law Group moved to my current firm at Ropers Majeksi in 2018 and have continued our excellent representation of trademark defendants. In my litigation practice, I have personally represented clients large and small in all phases of disputes from making and responding to pre-litigation demands, through discovery and depositions, as well as engaging in sharp negotiations to resolve disputes, including at mediations and judicial settlement conferences.As lead counsel for plaintiffs or defendants, I have successfully resolved over 100 business-related civil lawsuits filed in the state and federal courts, primarily in California, the majority of which were resolved through favorable settlements.
