ADVISORY ROLES

Senior advisory engagements supporting intellectual property leaders in complex, high-pressure environments, where decisions carry legal, reputational, and organizational consequences.

My work sits at the intersection of IP law, negotiation, and behavioral intelligence. I support judgment at critical inflection points, helping leaders navigate escalation, conflict, and uncertainty with clarity and restraint.

Engagements are tailored to context and need. Scope and format are determined collaboratively.

Fractional IP & strategic advisor (Retainer)

Senior-level intellectual property and negotiation advisory for in-house legal teams seeking sustained strategic support without a full-time hire.

This role is designed for organizations facing ongoing IP complexity, such as brand enforcement, portfolio strategy, cross-functional tension, or sensitive negotiations, where experienced judgment is required on a continuing basis.

Support may include:

  • enforcement and escalation strategy
  • negotiation preparation and positioning
  • internal alignment across legal, business, and creative teams
  • decision support on complex or high-risk IP matters

This is not task-based execution. It is senior advisory counsel focused on clarity, proportionality, and strategic coherence.

Behavioral Intelligence Advisor for IP Judgment & Decision-Making

Confidential, one-to-one advisory support for IP lawyers, law firm partners, and legal leaders navigating high-stakes decisions, sustained pressure, or professional inflection points.

This role supports moments where doctrine alone does not resolve the challenge, when decisions are shaped by identity threat, organizational dynamics, ethical tension, or reputational risk.

Engagements typically focus on:

  • decision-making under pressure
  • managing escalation and conflict dynamics
  • navigating ethically complex enforcement choices
  • strengthening credibility with courts, counterparties, and internal leadership

Work is grounded in live matters and real decisions, not abstract coaching.

Behavioral Intelligence FOR LEGAL TEAMS

Facilitated workshops and tailored engagements for legal and IP teams operating in complex or conflict-intensive environments.

Sessions focus on:

  • communication under pressure
  • collective judgment and decision quality
  • awareness of conflict and escalation patterns
  • team effectiveness in real legal contexts

Programs are customized to the team’s role, industry, and operating environment.

SPEAKING & KEYNOTES

Invited talks and keynote presentations for legal organizations, conferences, and leadership forums on:

  • behavioral intelligence in IP and legal decision-making
  • judgment, credibility, and proportionality in enforcement
  • navigating conflict in high-stakes legal environments
  • the human side of legal practice in an AI-accelerated world

Engagement Approach

  • a focused decision advisory session addressing a live issue, or
  • an exploratory conversation to assess fit, scope, and next steps

All advisory work is tailored. There is no standard package.

Engagements may begin with:

The aim is consistent: to support clearer judgment and durable outcomes in moments that matter.

If you are considering working together, the next step is a conversation to explore context and fit.
