About Jeff

Jeff is a trusted advisor to clients in the Fortune 1000 and to startups and small businesses. With this unique background, he knows that one size does not fit all businesses.

Jeff practices in the Intellectual Property Department, where he advises clients on patent prosecution, IP clearance, licensing, and litigation matters. Jeff gained a unique perspective on legal practice by serving as in-house patent counsel for TaylorMade-adidas Golf in Carlsbad, California.
