Becoming an All-Star IP Practitioner (with Anthony Dreyer, Partner, Skadden, and Monique Joe, Senior Vice President, Head of Brands and Content Intellectual Property, NBCUniversal Media)

Brand & New

While most, if not all lawyers thrive for excellence and success with their clients, cases, or projects, not everyone manages to really reach and more importantly remain at the top of their game throughout their careers. Our guests today offer two different but similarly stunning examples of successful careers in the intellectual property world.

Monique Joe is Senior Vice President, Head of Brands and Content Intellectual Property, at NBCUniversal Media, LLC, in Los Angeles, California, USA, where she oversees the IP team that supports the development of brands and the production of content for all NBCUniversal businesses globally, ranging from Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation to NBC and Telemundo. She was named several times by World Trademark Review as one of the World’s Leading Corporate Trademark Professionals.

Anthony Dreyer is an Intellectual Property and Sports Litigation Partner with the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP in New York, New York, USA.A commercial litigator concentrating on IP, sports, entertainment, and related licensing disputes, he has been named a leading trademark practitioner by both World Trademark Review and Managing Intellectual Property.

In addition to being graduates of Fordham University School of Law, both are recognized as top level IP practitioners, high achievers, and forward thinkers. Today they share their experience, vision, tips, and personal observations on the mutation of the legal industry and the challenges that poses for beginners and experienced IP lawyers alike.

Every two weeks, on Tuesday, Brand & New gives the floor to inspiring individuals, with a 360-degree vision, to help brand owners, intellectual property lawyers, and marketing and finance professionals (and beyond!) stay curious and agile in an ever-evolving business environment.
