At Cooley, my practice involves providing advice and counseling on cybersecurity matters and related technology issues, including privacy, IT licensing, and intellectual property. I work with companies in developing strategies to protect their information and exploit their IP. I also counsel clients on a variety of issues in technology areas such as cryptography, authentication, active defense, information security, compliance (GRC), certification and accreditation, and based on various business models, including SaaS, mobile applications, cloud, and more traditional client/server architecture. Prior to practicing law, I spend several years as a software and crypto engineer at the NSA and in private industry.
