Andrew Klungness专注于知识产权和技术交易。凭借近二十年的法律和商务经验,Andrew引导新兴和成熟公司渡过扰乱式创新的机遇和风险。他为许多行业的客户提供咨询服务,包括电子商务/零售、移动、企业技术、硬件、社交媒体、交互式娱乐、数字媒体、消费产品、教育科技(edtech)和金融科技(fintech)等。

Andrew领导通常包括知识产权或技术创新重要而复杂​的战略联盟、合资企业以及其他合作和伙伴关系安排。他还负责构架和协商广泛的一般技术和商业交易,包括软件许可和实施交易(包括SaaS和本地交易);云端;外包交易(ITO和AD/M);制造(包括OEM和ODM);咨询协议;渠道伙伴关系(销售代表,分销商和转售商);商品许可;内容、商标、专利和技术许可;联合发展协议;以及影响者、联合品牌和交叉促销协议。

除交易业务外,Andrew还提供战略咨询减低在线、移动和社交媒体的数字平台、连接设备以及VR/AR平台上与开展业务相关风险的最佳实践;通常涉及知识产权、消费者保护(例如担保、订阅自动续订法律)和国际问题,以及隐私和数据安全。

Andrew是硅海滩(Silicon Beach)社区的热心成员,自科网(“dot com”)时代已在圣塔莫尼卡(Santa Monica)执业技术法。他对当地初创公司的热情引导他帮助早期客户开发、保护并获利于它们的知识产权;探索存在于扰乱式创新中不可避免的法律“灰色地带”;并实施围绕组成其业务日常合同的“剧本”(playbook)。

Andrew被《超级律师》(Super Lawyers)评为圣塔莫尼卡(Santa Monica)的顶级技术交易律师(2015-2018);《Above the Law》评他为最杰出的合伙律师之一。

在加入泛伟之前,Andrew是一家领先国际律师事务所的技术、采购和商务合伙律师。

Andrew于1999年获得新罕布什尔大学法学院(前身为富兰克林·皮尔斯法律中心(Franklin Pierce Law Center))的法学博士学位。他于1996年以优异的成绩从俄亥俄州卫斯理大学(Ohio Wesleyan University)获得学士学位。

Andrew是加利福尼亚州律师协会的成员。 他获准在美国联邦巡回上诉法院和加利福尼亚中部、东部、北部和南部地区的美国地方法院执业。​​

Andrew is an experienced collaborator, helping clients realize their goals by leading complex strategic alliances, joint ventures, and other “partnering” arrangements. Clients lean on Andrew to help them develop, protect, and monetize IP, and design creative and forward-thinking strategies to manage technology, IP, and commercial issues in financing, M&A, and other corporate transactions. His experience negotiating commercial agreements, including licensing, NFT collaborations, technology sourcing, blockchain network, manufacturing and supply, channel partnership, and marketing agreements allows him to put his clients’ needs first with a view toward growth and innovation. At the core of his practice, Andrew helps clients navigate the inevitable legal and regulatory gray areas that emerge as they innovate, disrupt, and push their industries forward into new and novel frontiers.

When FinCEN updated its anti-money laundering Travel Rule to include virtual asset services providers, Fenwick client Coinbase was one of many that needed to find a way to comply. It relied on Andrew to advise on the creation, development, and global rollout strategy of Travel Rule Universal Solution Technology (TRUST), a consortium of over 90 virtual asset services providers led by Coinbase and other prominent digital asset exchanges and an industry-driven solution designed to assist TRUST members in complying with the Travel Rule.

Community-centric NFT marketplace and gaming platform Magic Eden turned to Andrew with a desire to create a Web3 independent virtual wallet that users could access and use within their marketplace. Andrew advised on and secured a strategic alliance with blockchain wallet company Exodus to create a customized Magic Eden-branded wallet that provides a frictionless way for new Web3 users to engage with their NFTs and self-custody all of their digital assets through easy onboarding, fiat onramp/offramp solutions, and streamlined asset swaps.
