Andrea's experience spans a wide range of industries, from global financial services to fashion and hospitality brands, and she concentrates her practice on the fashion, luxury, and retail industries.
“We are very happy that Andrea and Rachel have joined our Intellectual Property Group. Andrea’s thoughtful and energetic approach to client projects, together with her years of prosecution and transactional trademark experience that she brings, make her a wonderful addition to BFKN and an excellent resource for our clients. Rachel’s stellar academic record, combined with her patent background brings a depth of experience to our firm’s patent and trademark litigation practice as well as our growing design patent prosecution group.
