I am excited to introduce Soyeun D. Choi, a new contributor to the Strategy x Law Blog. She will write primarily on leadership, business and intellectual property. After conversations with Soyeun about the connections between business and law, I am confident that she will provide thoughtful insights on this intersection of issues.
Soyeun advises her clients on business and intellectual property matters. Her practice includes business transactions from formation to exit, intellectual property transactions, and general business law. I am unfortunate to be able to work on projects with her. Prior to establishing her own practice, Soyeun was an associate for Dan Offner & Associates.
In addition to her practice, Soyeun actively serves the bar. She is President of the Palo Alto Area Bar Association (PAABA) and Co-Chair of the Newsletter Committee of the Asian American Bar Association. This is Soyeun’s second term as President of PAABA, and she has served PAABA in numerous capacities including Editor in Chief of the Bulletin and Co-Chair of the Community Law Night Committee.
Soyeun received her J.D. from University of California Los Angeles Law School and her B.A. from University of California at Santa Cruz in Psychology. At UCLA Law School, Soyeun was Editor in Chief of the Asian Pacific American Law Journal, Recent Developments Editor and Chief Essays Editor of the Women's Law Journal and Social Chair of the Asian Pacific Islander Law Student Association. She also externed for Justice Bamattre-Manoukian in the California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District, and was a Teaching Assistant for Professor Cheryl Harris.
Soyeun also received the Miley W. Manuel Award for Pro Bono Legal Services and was a Fellow of the State Bar's Access & Fairness Leadership Academy.
Soyeun is admitted to the State Bar of California.
