She regularly represents clients in sophisticated IP and technology transactions, including SaaS, cloud, software development, licenses, technology services, professional services and manufacturing.

As a litigator, she honed a well-developed sense of risk management and strategic decision-making as well as an understanding of how terms in commercial agreements are often disputed in litigation. This skill-set enables her to draft agreements that are more comprehensive and more effective for clients.
