Klarquist Sparkman, LLP

I had a fantastic time at the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association 2024 Convention in Seattle with my colleagues from Klarquist Sparkman, LLP earlier this month! It was inspiring to connect with talented attorneys, learn from incredible leaders and role models, and exchange ideas on the latest developments in law and tech with fellow Intellectual Property professionals nationwide. A special shoutout to my Indiana University Maurer School of Law alumni—it’s always a joy to celebrate our shared roots and see the incredible contributions everyone is making in their fields. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet so many amazing new friends along the way! #NAPABA2024 #Klarquist #NAPABA24 #AANHPI #professionalgrowth #IntellectualProperty
