Wendy has built an 18-year career in intellectual property law, specializing in complex patent litigation for innovative companies across pharmaceuticals and food technology sectors.

The accompanying profile highlights Wendy's recent representation of Impossible Foods in the first patent litigation in the plant-based food industry involving heme-containing products, her work with Viatris focusing on clearing market paths for generic medications, and her defense of Azurity Pharmaceuticals' patents related to products serving underserved populations.
