“As technology advances, and with the globalization of the Internet, cyber law and associated issues are growing rapidly.  Understanding these issues and applying practical solutions is an ongoing learning process for both attorneys and clients, and having the opportunity to work every day with individuals and corporate inventors on the leading edge of technological innovation is particularly satisfying.”
