Andrea Gregory DiSandro's practice focuses on a range of intellectual property and commercial distribution issues. Leveraging an extensive background in franchising, licensing, and distribution, she takes a business-oriented approach to support complex commercial transactions.
Andrea draws on her experience working with businesses at all stages of development – from startups to Fortune 100 companies – to negotiate and draft the best deals for her clients. As a member of our Intellectual Property (IP) practice, she works across various industries, including aerospace and defense, agriculture, automotive, communications, consumer products, franchise, life sciences, retail, and software.
Andrea helps her clients with a range of technology, trademark, marketing, copyright, patent, and general commercial issues. She guides clients through all aspects of their supply chains, from research and development to manufacturing, distribution, and commercialization. She supports our Mergers and Acquisitions teams on IP matters in corporate transactions, as well as our Litigation teams on transactional matters related to motor vehicle and general franchise regulations.
Before joining the firm, Andrea worked at a top franchising law firm, where she fostered client expansion into domestic and international markets and protected IP portfolios on both the transactional and dispute resolution sides of the practice. Prior to that, she gained in-depth international experience through various roles at the New Zealand Human Rights Review Tribunal, law firms in Switzerland and Cambodia, the American Bar Association's Rule of Law Initiative in Morocco, and the U.S. Mission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Belgium. At law school, she served as a member of the William & Mary Environmental Law & Policy Review.
Andrea is a member of our Retail and Fashion content team, a client development associate, and co-chair of the American Bar Association's International Contracts Committee. In 2018 the firm recognized Andrea for her pro bono work in international human rights.
