Background

About Alyssa Sandrowitz

As a senior in-house counsel with deep roots in both private practice and industry, I bring a business-forward approach to intellectual property strategy that drives measurable value across global enterprises. I currently lead the intellectual property legal function for a multibillion-dollar aerospace and industrial manufacturing company, where I architect IP strategies that align with innovation priorities, operational goals, and corporate risk tolerance. My background spans 14 years in private practice—including as a partner at an AmLaw 100 firm—followed by progressive in-house leadership roles overseeing patent and trademark portfolios, managing high-stakes litigation, implementing enterprise IP systems, and enabling technology-driven commercial deals. I’ve successfully executed global IP management system rollouts, transitioned organizations toward more proactive IP protection cultures, and led due diligence for complex M&A and licensing transactions. Beyond portfolio oversight, I am known for building credibility with engineers, business leaders, and executive teams alike. I champion innovation governance, elevate the strategic use of IP assets, and ensure compliance and risk mitigation in regulated environments. Whether advising on product roadmaps, negotiating technology agreements, or developing licensing strategies, I lead with a sharp legal mind and a commercial lens.
