Sarah K. Campbell

Sarah advises technology and life-sciences companies on their hardest intellectual-property problems — from bet-the-product litigation to the licensing that prevents it.

She represents clients in patent and trade-secret disputes, manages global trademark portfolios, and counsels engineering and product teams on open-source, licensing, and AI training-data questions.

Clients describe her as “a litigator who thinks like an engineer”: direct about risk, focused on the outcome that lets the product ship.

  • Led the IP workstream of a $300M acquisition of a machine-learning startup, including open-source remediation.

  • Negotiated a cross-license resolving a five-year smartphone-component dispute.

Recognized by Chambers USA (Intellectual Property, Up and Coming) and named among “Leaders in Law” 2026–2027. Frequent speaker on software licensing and AI training-data disputes.
