About
With over 15 years of legal experience, I’ve represented all types of clients from initial stage Start-Ups to Fortune 50 powerhouses. Working in Big Law in Chicago provided me with a diverse skill set that I regularly rely on to solve my client's legal issues. Most importantly, my past experience has taught me the importance of balancing legal costs with commercial purposes that are best suited to each individual client's needs.

Experience
Worked in Big Law in Chicago for Reed Smith LLP in the IP and Commercial Litigation groups from 2007 to 2015.
Drafting various IP documents such as licensing agreements, technology agreements,
… read more independent contractor agreements, and other business formation documents.
Served as General Counsel of a technology Start-Up.
Created IP and data protection and privacy protocols for multi-national corporations for compliance with the European Union’s Data Protection Directive.

After many successful years working for other firms, I decided to open my own law firm in the summer of 2022. My Big Law background combined with my experience representing start-ups will enable me to provide valuable legal guidance to my clients at a much more reasonable rate than that charged by the big law firms.
