With more than 25 years' experience as an intellectual property (IP) trial lawyer, Phil still enjoys the learning process that takes place with a new client and a new challenge.
Phil’s extensive experience includes bench and jury trials and arbitrations (including one, centered on a biotechnology product, that lasted nine months). He has represented clients in Hatch-Waxman (Paragraph IV) litigations, has worked in diverse industries such as graphics, visualization technologies, medical device, chemical and consumer products, and also has experience handling copyright and trademark/trade dress litigation.
Work hard to find a practical solution -- but be willing to fight all the way to achieve the client's goals.
One aspect of Phil's success is his ability to take difficult legal and technical questions and translate them for courts and juries. He works with clients to fully understand their business, including how IP litigation affects business objectives.
Clients know that Phil will go the extra mile, on his own or as he manages a team effort, to resolve the client's issues.
