As a former engineer, Joe Grdinovac understands both the technical and legal challenges his clients face. His knowledge of technology and equipment used in industries including oil and gas, automotive, electronics, and agriculture allows him to more efficiently counsel clients on IP procurement, management, enforcement matters, technology transfers, licensing agreements, and IP litigation.

Before he became a lawyer, Joe was a design engineer for an international oil and gas company, where he focused on downstream refining equipment, including hydrocarbon processing units, support systems, and various instrumentation systems.
