Jim’s broad and varied experience allows him to take a “general counsel” approach to representing his clients, most of whom are small businesses, tech startups and municipal entities. He advises his clients on corporate matters, startups, contracts and licensing, data privacy, cybersecurity compliance, data breach response, emerging technologies, and intellectual property. Since 2010, he has represented businesses, municipalities, and creatives throughout New York, New Jersey and California.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, Jim was a lead developer at Xanthus, Inc. where he managed development of the first online travel booking engine in 1999.
