About
My practice focuses on complex intellectual property matters, including litigation, freedom-to-operate analyses, IPRs and counseling on potential litigation.
I advise companies on IP licensing, on the management of their IP portfolios, and on IP in the M&A context.
I have two degrees from M.I.T. (Chemical Engineering and Philosophy) and a law degree from Columbia, graduating with honors from both.

"Alex is a brilliant advocate with a unique knack for understanding the complex and distilling it into simplicity, whether orally or in writing. These skills set him in a class of his own -- not just among patent lawyers, but among lawyers, period."
