The thought of complying with ever changing data protection and privacy laws is daunting for most businesses. As a Certified Information Privacy Professional in the U.S. and E.U., I work with businesses to remain in compliance and keep their information security policies up-to-date, tailoring solutions to the size and activities of each company so they can avoid spending unnecessary resources.For companies dealing with major cyber attacks, I routinely handle rapid responses by negotiating with ransomware threat actors, liaising with law enforcement and government regulators, determining consumer notification obligations, and overseeing the notification and regulatory response process.As a trademark attorney for the last 20 years, I work with businesses of every size to navigate the risks and challenges associated with the adoption and registration of trademarks, including prosecuting hundreds of applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and working with foreign attorneys to protect trademarks internationally. My goal is to find the most cost-effective, efficient, and strategic ways to get my client’s trademarks through to registration. I’m also known for being able to get infringing content off the Internet with effective trademark, copyright, and domain name infringement cease and desist letters, takedown requests, and negotiations. In addition, I routinely resolve issues for my clients by initiating Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy proceedings and working with counsel worldwide to assist with the takedown process when necessary. I also stay on top of the latest technological solutions to preventing cybersquatting in the first place.My expansive IP and technology practice also includes technology, software, service, hosting and licensing agreements, data mining, and the evolving field of AI and its impact on businesses.I’m a regular speaker on these topics and their intersection - domestically and internationally (Technische Universität Dresden, Hong Kong, Munich, Berlin, London, New York, Washington D.C., Houston, San Francisco, and my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee). You can also find my works on these topics published by Oxford University Press, Forbes, Backstage Press, the International Trademark Association's Trademark Reporter, and the American Bar Association. If you have a question that encompasses the field of technology, data protection, AI, trademarks, and domain names, it’s likely I have an answer. Please send me a message if I can assist.
