I have a versatile practice in a variety of technology, intellectual property and business transactions, as well as complex commercial and intellectual property litigation. My ability to connect with any client, as well as my hard-working nature, creates a recipe to effectively and efficiently address any and all client needs. I refuse to put forth anything than my best effort which translates into great results. 

In my transactional practice, I couple my real-world business grasp with exceptional attention to detail to ensure my client’s business needs are continually addressed. My experience allows me to make an immediate impact at any stage in a transaction by identifying business and legal issues; effectively communicating with my clients to translate their needs into written agreements; and negotiating on my client’s behalf. Typical agreements I have handled include software licensing agreements, software-as-a-services agreements, cloud computing, vendor/procurement agreements, non-disclosure agreements, consulting agreements, statements of works, asset purchase agreements, shipping agreements, or other complex business transactions. In addition to handling business transactions, I have extensive experience in trademark and copyright filing and prosecution. 

My litigation experience comprises a wide breadth of services in which I have passionately advocated for my clients including pre-filing investigations, claim construction and analyzing, drafting cease and desist letters, filing and answering of complaints, motion practice, discovery, and in-court appearances in both state and federal court. I have handled litigation matters for clients of all sizes from assisting an individual receiving discovery for use in a foreign proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 1782 to defending a software license audit for a fortune one-hundred company. 

Prior to joining Chapman Spingola, I earned my Juris Doctor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During my time in law school, I was an editor on the Elder Law Journal and received the CALI award for earning the highest grade in the Community Preservation Clinic, where I fiercely advocated for indigent clients through the residential foreclosure process. Prior to law school, I received my bachelor’s degree in both Economics and Political Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
