Patent portfolio clarity. Reclaim what you already own.

FRACTIONAL IP COUNSEL

Senior IP judgment — without the full-time commitment or hiring risk.

You're managing multiple law firms that don't talk to each other. You're getting conflicting advice on critical filings. You're approving strategies you haven't had time to test.

You need someone who owns your IP strategy completely — coordinating counsel, translating legal complexity into business clarity, and spotting expensive mistakes before they happen.

Result: One aligned strategy. Clear decisions. A portfolio that serves your business, not your law firms.

STRATEGIC IP PROJECTS

Targeted clarity for high-stakes IP decisions.

Sometimes you don't need ongoing counsel — you need answers. What to keep. What to cut. What that acquisition target actually owns. Or whether your outside counsel is quietly running the show.

These projects combine 25 years of pattern recognition with modern data-driven analysis — not decks or academic landscapes, but focused insight you can defend in a boardroom.

  • Portfolio Clarity Snapshot — What you own, what matters, and what's just expensive decoration.
  • Competitive Intelligence — Where competitors are investing, where you're exposed, and where the real white space lies.
  • M&A IP Diligence — Fast, defensible assessments of what you're buying or selling.
  • Outside Counsel Audit — Which firms deliver value, which are on autopilot, and which work shouldn't be happening at all.

Result: Fixed scope. Clear deliverables. Decisions that turn IP confusion into control.

25 years learning which work moves the needle — and which just moves the meter.

I've been on both sides of the billable hour. As outside counsel at Kilpatrick Townsend and Thomas Horstemeyer, I billed Fortune 100 clients including Qualcomm, HP, AT&T, and Disney — and saw firsthand how even great companies drown in process instead of progress.

Now I work exclusively for companies that need clarity — whether as fractional counsel or through targeted projects. No conflicts. No meter running. Just helping you reclaim what you already own.

Clarity that pays for itself.

The outcomes are consistent: companies stop paying for work that shouldn't exist. They stop delaying decisions that should be obvious. They stop wondering whether their portfolio is working for them or against them.

Whether through fractional counsel or strategic projects, leadership finally sees what they own, what matters, and what to do next. Decisions get faster. Strategies get sharper. The portfolio starts working for the business — not the law firms.

Let's talk.

The first conversation is just that — a conversation. No decks. No discovery calls. No orchestrated sales process.

Just a direct discussion about your situation and whether I can help.
