About Richard Yoon

Historically, I am a business lawyer with corporate, intellectual property and business development emphasis. My practice represents clients from individuals to multi-national corporations. To best sum of my practice, I act as an outside in-house counsel supporting all issues that arise for my clients including contracts, litigation, and corporate financing. In my last corporate job, I was full time business development professional in licensing and new ventures in the molecular diagnostic field. My career has taken me from a big law firm to start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Through that time I have evolved my skill sets to cover a broad range of business and legal skills. My early experience was focused particularly on patent law, including prosecution, litigation, and client counseling. In the past 10 years, I have evolved my legal expertise towards business development, licensing, and other agreements where intellectual property is a key driver of the deal. I take pride as a problem solver and someone able to bridge gaps between parties, and as a result I have been able to drive many successful business deals and resolve numerous disputes.CORE COMPETENCIES• Multidisciplinary• Medical Device and Molecular Diagnostics Industry Knowledge• Global Intellectual Property• Business Development • Litigation Resolution• Contract Negotiation and Licensing• Start-up support for organization and financing• Strategic Partnerships Consistently, I have enjoyed working in cutting edge technology fields related to computers, medical devices, and software/Internet.
