Sean’s practice combines intellectual property with his scientific background and experience in corporate law. He brings an inside knowledge of the federal court system, work in patent litigation, and insights into bioinformatics law.
Sean’s work in intellectual property and commercial litigation is enriched by his experience as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Toby Crouse of the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. In addition to recommending judgments to the judge, Sean researched pleadings and motions, drafted court orders and prepared bench memoranda and other materials for trials and motion hearings.
Earning his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School, Sean was a comments editor for The University of Chicago Business Law Review. He was also the student director of the University’s Kirkland & Ellis Corporate Lab Clinic, directing legal work for five corporate clients to a team of law students. In addition, he clerked for a private firm, working on claim charts for patent litigation detailing alleged infringement claims.
Sean earned his undergraduate degree in bioinformatics from Brigham Young University. He worked there as a research assistant, writing software to analyze genetic, transcriptomic and proteomic data. His education and work in developing methods and software for understanding biological data gives Sean a deep understanding of the intersection between technology, life sciences and the law.
