Dr. Roberg-Perez is a partner in the Intellectual Property and Technology Litigation Group and co-chair of the firm’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. She is an M.I.T-trained Ph.D. who leverages over a decade of experience working as a molecular biologist in her patent litigation practice, which is focused on biotechnology and medical device clients. She has been trial counsel in hard-fought, multimillion-dollar patent cases between competitors, represented clients in contested-proceedings before the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board, and counsels and advises clients on minimizing the disruptive impact a dispute may have on their day-to-day business.
In addition to her intellectual property practice, Dr. Roberg-Perez has an active pro bono practice. She served as co-counsel with Lambda Legal in successfully representing an incarcerated transgender woman who had been denied necessary medical care under an unconstitutional, Missouri Department of Corrections’ policy.
