From a litigator’s perspective, Yuval helps clients evaluate the IP risks inherent in each investment or acquisition opportunity.

Yuval’s interest in intellectual property law began in college when, as the photography editor of the Yale Daily News, The New York Times contacted him to pay for his photographs of a presidential candidate who gave a speech on campus.  This exposure to copyright law piqued a passion for IP that continues to this day.  Yuval frequently lectures and publishes articles on many intellectual property topics.  He has demonstrated his leadership through his service on the boards of the Business Council of Westchester and the Westchester Business and Professional Division of UJA Federation of New York.  Yuval obtained a B.A. from Yale University and a J.D. from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.
