In addition to managing the intellectual property aspects of corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, and financing, I frequently serve as outside general counsel and commercial advisor.My practice emphasizes the clearance, prosecution, and enforcement of trademarks and copyrights, guiding clients in domestic and international trademark selection, searching, portfolio management, brand strategy, copyright protection, fair use analysis and content clearance, and domain name acquisitions. I am also adept in IP enforcement, handling pre-litigation matters such as cease and desist letters, oppositions, cancellations, DMCA takedowns, domain name disputes, and UDRP actions.I advise clients across various industries, with a notable focus on the gaming, sports, advertising, and media sectors.
