Historical award records may name my former firm. My current practice is at Viridant IP.

At Viridant IP

## Legal work

I help companies find the patents still worth keeping, licensing, or selling.

My practice focuses on IP commercialization, IP agreements and deal-making, including monetization and equity transactions involving IP.

Founder, Manda

## The buyer’s side of legal knowledge.

I founded Manda to help legal teams make use of what they already know: the problem, the work, who handled it, what it cost and the outcome. A record they can find, ask about and use for the next decision.

Alongside that work: better evidence about legal pricing, providers and outcomes.
