Derek litigates intellectual property and Internet disputes. He is particularly knowledgeable about domain-name issues, and compliance with Internet advertising regulations.

Under the federal CAN-SPAM Act, Derek has convinced several judges to dismiss cases against his defendant clients. And in lawsuits over trademark, copyright, and publicity rights, Derek has negotiated dozens of favorable settlements.
