Emily A. Nash

Emily Nash helps clients with the resolution of intellectual property disputes in federal courts and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, where she has managed all aspects of a case from early settlement discussions through post-trial briefing and appeal.

Over more than a decade in practice, she has also: helped global consumer brands manage their international trademark portfolios, crafted and implemented trademark watches, tried cases before the International Trade Commission, and assisted companies of all sizes in crafting trade secret, open source, and other internal policies designed to protect intellectual property assets and ensure compliance with intellectual property and privacy-related obligations.

Before attending law school, Emily was an associate in the Business Affairs department of a prominent literary agency in New York City and Contracts Manager within the Legal Department of a global trade book publishing company.
