"Jill is knowledgeable in biotechnology and quite easy to work with."
"Jill met and exceeded our expectations. I will definitely work with her again."
"Have no doubt: this is one seriously experienced patent lawyer, who speaks the language of chemistry. No need to spend tons of time with background/explanations, she gets it the first time, and hits the ground running. Great time management/sensitivity to start up budgets. Very reasonable rates for someone with her background."
"I recently met with Jill and she provided some valuable insights re: the patent process, about which she is very knowledgeable. I would consult with Jill again anytime I had needs in this area of law. In addition to her knowledge, she was very personable, with a knack for distilling potentially complex legal concepts into something that was very easy to understand. I'd highly recommend her."
"I highly recommend Jill Jacobson, independent patent counsel. Jill has worked for Cobalt, a bioindustrial start up, as our outside patent attorney for almost three years. She works with our R&D team to help them convert their inventions from invention disclosures into strong, well written patent applications. Jill has a great background in the field and came up to speed on our technology very quickly. She has a deep understanding of global patent laws and processes. Her advice on patent strategy, and the pros and cons of different approaches is very solid."
