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 offer two different but similarly stunning examples of successful careers in the intellectual property world.

Monique Joe, Senior Vice President, Head of Brands and Content Intellectual Property, at NBCUniversal Media, LLC, in Los Angeles, California, USA, 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.

Anthony Dreyer, Intellectual Property and Sports Litigation Partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP in New York, New York, USA, is a commercial litigator concentrating on IP, sports, entertainment, and related licensing disputes.

In addition to being graduates of Fordham University School of Law, both are recognized as top-level IP practitioners, high achievers, and forward thinkers.

In this episode, they share their experience, vision, tips, and personal observations on the mutation of the legal industry and the challenges it poses for beginners and experienced IP lawyers alike.
