At Viridant IP
Legal work
I help companies find the patents still worth keeping, licensing, or selling.
My practice focuses on IP commercialization, IP agreements and deal-making, including monetization and equity transactions involving IP.
Work with meFounder, Manda
The buyer’s side
of legal knowledge.
I founded Manda to help legal teams make use of what they already know: the problem, the work, who handled it, what it cost and the outcome. A record they can find, ask about and use for the next decision.
Alongside that work: better evidence about legal pricing, providers and outcomes.
