Terri’s diverse practice has included representation of clients in intellectual property matters. Terri has counseled a number of clients, including artists and businesses, on the enforcement of their copyright, trade secret, and trademark rights against infringers, competitors, and former employees.

She has represented clients before the Maine District, Superior, and Probate Courts on these issues and successfully litigated, through trial, one of the first few cases in the state to apply and define the concept of de facto parental rights.
