Amanda’s practice centers on all types of intellectual property matters including patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret litigation. Amanda also handles other civil litigation matters including commercial and contract-based disputes.
Amanda clerked for Chief Judge Mary H. Murguia of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and for Judge Arenda Wright Allen of the Eastern District of Virginia. During her tenure on the fast-paced “rocket docket,” Amanda assisted Judge Allen in all aspects of presiding over several jury trials and in managing her weighty civil docket. While clerking on the Ninth Circuit, Amanda was intimately involved in oral argument preparation, case strategy, and opinion drafting for both en banc and three-judge panel proceedings. Both clerkships give Amanda invaluable “behind the scenes” experience and an understanding of persuasive writing and argument techniques as well as the mechanics of judicial decision making. Amanda uses these insights and her ability to quickly identify the tipping point of complex cases to clearly and concisely draft the most compelling argument on behalf of her clients.
Prior to clerking, Amanda was previously an associate at another national law firm, where she handled commercial, appellate, and intellectual property matters. She also served as a PILI Fellow at the National Immigrant Justice Center while studying for the bar examination.
During law school, Amanda served as the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Law and Policy and her student note—(Il)Legal Violence at the Border: A Comparative Analysis of LGBTQ+ Asylum Claims in the United States and Europe—was published in the same. She also earned a Certificate in Public Interest Law and authored the top-ranked Respondent’s brief in the Wiley Rutledge Moot Court Competition.

Robert war schon immer fasziniert von neuen Technologien und der Digitalisierung. Seiner Faszination folgend spezialisierte er sich auf Medienrecht, Immaterialgüterrecht und Datenschutzrecht. Bevor er bei Orrick tätig wurde, sammelte er auch Erfahrungen bei der Gründung eines Unternehmens, das eine Software as a Platform Dienstleistung anbot und indem er für einen deutschen Venture-Capital-Investor tätig war.

Als IT- und IP-Anwalt mit einer sehr wirtschaftlichen Mentalität entwirft und verhandelt Robert alle Arten von IT- und IP-Vereinbarungen für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen ebenso für große multinationale Konzerne. Er berät bei Fragen der Compliance mit dem Datenschutz - insbesondere bei Entwürfen von Datenschutzerklärungen und nationalen sowie internationalen Auftragsverarbeitungsvereinbarungen - oder stellt seine Expertise bei der Beurteilung von IP/IT- und Datenschutzfragen bei M&A-Transaktionen zur Verfügung. Er berät auch bei GDPR-Compliance-Projekten und bei der allgemeinen Einhaltung des Datenschutzes.
