In her day-to-day practice, Jen excels at communication and transforming raw technical concepts into concrete and effective results for clients for any issue, whether it is a new patent application or a winning strategy for litigation. Because she is conversant in the technology, she is highly skilled at seeing how technical concepts fit into a sometimes imperfect or uncharted legal framework. She routinely advises clients on the novel legal risks posed by AI technology, including representing content owners in asserting claims for unlicensed use of their IP, establishing AI governance programs and policies to mitigate legal risk and loss of rights, and advising on content licensing deals. Jen and the Rothwell Figg team also established new legal precedent in successfully asserting first of their kind claims for battery and assault over the internet in their pro bono representation of a reporter, which was a significant victory for the epilepsy community.
