A frightening new threat cascades around the world, endangering lives, upending familiar personal and professional routines, and disrupting the global economy. Amidst the COVID-19 crisis, we turn our attention to issues that are impacting intellectual property attorneys and brands in this unprecedented time.
Our guest is Peter McAleese, a partner with Akran Intellectual Property, a law firm which is based in Rome, Italy, one of the country’s cities hit hardest by the pandemic. Mr. McAleese is the Co-Chair of INTA’s Global Advisory Council-Europe and a member of the Association’s Right of Publicity Committee.
In this special episode, we explore what it means to him to be a lawyer in such trying times, specific legal risks to watch for, and how to keep going, while trying to mitigate effects of the crisis with resilience.
