• Intellectual Property
  (1) Working with Creatives is one of the best parts of the job. I love the energy they bring to everything they do. (2) A cliché reference about “bright future” is certainly valid for the kind of law I practice, but also having the right tools and accessories in life is always important. (3) I don’t have to wear a tie often in my practice, but sometimes a lawyer has to have one. Yes, there is a funny story here...feel free to ask. (4) I get to work with people and businesses that are so much fun, it sometimes feels more like recess than work. (5) I enjoy helping creatives bring their creations into reality and then working with them to exploit that Intellectual Property in the various formats and platforms that best fit their market. (6) Communication is a vital part of our world, and this little device lets me stay in touch with my family, my friends, my clients, and my practice no matter where in the world I am at the time. (7) My MacBook goes with me everywhere, and like my phone, is a vital part of my world. It allows me to create a “virtual office” no matter where I am, and I love that freedom. (8) I love comic books and graphic novels and I have always been drawn to that niche of the entertainment industry. These properties are such a huge part of the entertainment industry, and it excites me to be able to bring my experience in that world into my entertainment and intellectual property law practice.
