Nancy regularly works with clients across industries and often serves as a trusted legal advisor coordinating litigation strategy and business objectives.
Nancy also counsels clients on a wide range of business and litigation-related issues, including risk assessment, litigation avoidance, pre-suit strategy, case commencement, discovery, expert issues, and trial preparation. She advises on data breach response, including post-breach notifications, and drafts website terms and conditions and privacy policies. Her practice includes negotiating and preparing complex commercial agreements, licensing and confidentiality agreements, and assignments, as well as prosecuting trademark applications and handling matters before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
In addition to her litigation and counseling practice, Nancy frequently writes and speaks on topics such as intellectual property law, privacy, and diversity and inclusion.

Before entering the legal profession, Nancy worked in the media, providing writing, editing, and consulting services to organizations ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. She authored hundreds of articles for consumer and business-to-business publications, with a focus on health, medicine, and fitness, including extensive coverage of eye care and eyewear. This background informs her practical approach to advising clients on intellectual property, litigation, and business matters.
