David serves his clients by communicating effectively on their behalf. He draws on his outsized courtroom experience to anticipate how a litigant’s story might sound from the bench or jury box.
David's practice centers on disputes over IP and other business interests.
He litigates patent cases against Fortune 500 companies from both sides of the “v.” and advises clients regarding best practices for protecting their IP. He has also helped corporate entities navigate investigations in criminal and bankruptcy contexts. Prior to joining Orrick, David worked as a litigation associate at Milbank LLP.
David also clerked for two years in the federal trial court for the Eastern District of Virginia. During his tenure in the fast-paced “rocket docket,” he was fortunate to assist Judge Allen in presiding over six jury trials and one bench trial.
