Jul 2013 — Present · New York, NY, US
My practice focuses on litigation, counseling, and dispute resolution in entertainment, media, and intellectual property law. I represent and advise clients across various industries in copyright, trademark, false advertising, media defense, unfair competition, right-of-publicity, domain name, and commercial disputes.Prior to working at Cowan, DeBaets, Abrahams & Sheppard LLP, I was a litigation associate in the New York office of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, where I focused on cases arising in the areas of commercial contracts, intellectual property, false advertising, and internal and government investigations. Notable matters there included representing a major television network in a contract and copyright dispute concerning the ownership of a hit reality show, representing hair care product manufacturers in a false advertising dispute concerning the phrase “sold only in salons,” and representing one of the major music performing rights organizations in “rate court” disputes.Before joining Paul Weiss, I served as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Peter G. Sheridan, U.S.D.J, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and to the Honorable Leonard I. Garth, U.S.C.J, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
