Neil Supnekar joined Davis Wright Tremaine LLP's New York City office in the Intellectual Property group.
I worked with Jessica for about two months, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. In that short time, she helped me secure two offers. Jessica is organized, professional, and incredibly responsive, warm, and personable. She provided thoughtful advice and was a true partner in navigating decisions and negotiations. Her patent prosecution experience was valuable for navigating interview processes. I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone searching for a new patent role.
