As an intellectual property litigator in Winston & Strawn’s New York office, I have tried numerous cases to verdict, including disputes involving major entertainment and digital media companies, representing the defense of billions of dollars in the liability and the recovery of massive awards for the clients. I have successfully resolved highly publicized trademark, copyright and unfair competition matters that are currently shaping the law governing media and emerging technology in the entertainment industry. This experience includes all aspects of the DMCA and the development, distribution, and use of technologies that push the boundaries of IP law.In addition to my work involving negotiations and litigation relating to entertainment industry contracts, I advise and counsel entertainment clients on capital markets transactions and licensing of intellectual property. I represent clients in the acquisition of companies and raising financing through securitization, public offering, private placement, venture capital, and commercial loan transactions. I also structure licensing arrangements covering copyrights, trademarks, and publicity/likeness rights of entertainers, artists, athletes, and other celebrities.

Listed skills include Copyright Law, Licensing, Litigation, Unfair Competition, and 16 others.
