How I represent clients at Schwabe
I help clients navigate intellectual property, technology, commercial, and data privacy matters with practical, business-focused advice. Having worked on both litigation and transactional matters, I understand how legal strategy must support broader business goals. My background in software engineering helps me communicate effectively with clients whose work involves complex technologies.
Prior to Schwabe, I spent ten years as a software engineer at a multinational semiconductor manufacturer. That experience gave me firsthand insight into how technical teams operate and the challenges organizations face as they develop, protect, and deploy new technologies.
