I believe that knowing about a client’s industry is the key to ‎protecting their interests. I’m committed to keeping up to ‎date on industry trends, regulations, and the issues my ‎clients face. ‎

How I represent clients at Schwabe

I focus my practice on litigation and intellectual property matters, guiding clients through disputes and legal challenges with a practical, business-minded approach. My clients tend to be those working in the consumer products, manufacturing, retail, and maritime industries. By managing the details and anticipating potential risks, I help clients stay focused on their broader goals and long-term success.

My experience as a mediator informs the way I approach conflict resolution, allowing me to identify strategic opportunities for settlement while remaining prepared to advocate for my clients when litigation becomes necessary. Whether a matter is in its earliest stages or headed toward trial, I work to protect my clients’ interests and achieve efficient, effective outcomes.

My legal background includes serving as a law clerk for the Washington State Office of the Attorney General and completing a legal externship with the Seattle Symphony. During law school, I served as Executive Notes and Comments Editor of the Washington Law Review, sharpening my research, writing, and analytical skills.
