Amy Goldsmith is a Partner at Tarter Krinsky & Drogin LLP. Her specialty is Intellectual Property Law. Successful, profitable businesses share certain characteristics: immediately recognizable brands, desirable products or services, and a strategic plan which minimizes legal risks. Amy provides practical legal advice and connections to grow your business. She will advise you whether your new brand is available in the US and globally, if patents should be a part of your strategy, and if your design team’s new product shares too many features of the competition’s copyrighted bestseller. She’ll design contracts that make sense. If a dispute is on the horizon, she’ll be by your side until a fair resolution is reached.
