Jaci is a skilled litigator who focuses her practice on intellectual property infringement litigation and licensing, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and unfair competition. She has represented clients in federal courts across the country, as well as in opposition and cancellation proceedings in front of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Jaci understands complex litigation is often time-intensive, yet she uses a methodical approach to learn her clients’ objectives and then manages the often large cases closely for an efficient and practical resolution.

She also has a wide range of litigation experience. She has litigated complex commercial litigation, including class action and individual disputes in state and federal courts and in alternative dispute resolution settings. Jaci has also managed government investigations, and developed compliance programs for clients intended to mitigate risk with criminal, civil government, and cross-border internal investigations. In her prior work serving as in-house counsel for a Fortune 500 financial services institution, she learned the importance of approaching matters flexibly and creatively while communicating concisely and directly, and her clients recognize the value these intangible skills bring to their matters.

While in law school, she won numerous leadership awards in part for her role as editor-in-chief of the Ohio State Law Journal and was an extern for Judge Jeffrey Sutton on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Prior to going to law school, Jaci worked as a business analyst at the headquarters of both Target Corporation and Limited Brands, and she leverages her business background to develop solutions-oriented approaches to handling issues for clients.
