“Law is the perfect intersection of my passions for writing and justice. Whether drafting contracts, registering trademarks, advocating for charities or representing creators, I am using words as tools to persuade.”
Jeananne Kathol Kirwin practices in the areas of intellectual property and corporate/commercial law with an emphasis on trademark and copyright registration and enforcement.
