The IP specialist on your deal team, without a specialist firm's overhead.
For private equity
A PE-backed company needs an IP program built around the hold period: what buyers will diligence, which risks are most likely to affect the exit, and what is best left for the next owner. I bring over twenty years of experience on all sides of that question, as an IP specialist on PE deals, an IP litigator, a public company chief IP counsel, a venture capital counsel, and fractional IP counsel to PE portfolio companies.
Patent portfolio, dispute, and brand assessment as an integral part of your deal team.
IP reps, disclosure schedules, and the licenses and assignments that need to close with the deal.
A right-sized IP program for the portfolio company: what to keep, what to drop, what to fight.
I cover the full range of IP, so the question is never which tool I sell. It is which protections are key to your business, and what each will and will not do.
Whether it's a quick resolution to a dispute, a filing that gets you the exclusivity you need, or IP housekeeping that matters to buyers, you need solutions scaled to fit your business.
You work with me. I get in your weeds and up to speed on your business fast and tell you what matters in terms you can act on.
