Craig is the national head of DWF’s Commercial and Intellectual Property team. He is also a process driven control freak who exhibits a nerdy enthusiasm when talking about lean six sigma process efficiencies and managed services. He has considerable expertise in non-contentious contract and tech law and advises a diverse cross section of clients in several sectors on their business projects.
