										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Libby&#8217;s practice focuses on the role of embedded appellate counsel in high stakes patent trials. Libby works across multiple industries for leading companies including Sonos, Zynga, and Netflix, among many others. Libby has taken 14 cases through jury verdict and dozens of cases through pretrial filings. She also leads post-trial briefing and appeal teams and has presented nine appellate arguments. Libby uses her past experience as a patent examiner, district court clerk, and Federal Circuit clerk to help clients with their most important high-tech cases.</p>
<p>Libby joins trial teams – both within and outside of Orrick – and takes the role of legal strategist and brief writer. Before trial, Libby develops strategies for raising and preserving legal issues, especially Daubert issues and dispositive motions. At trial, Libby handles the charge conference, Rule 50(a) or directed verdict motions, and pocket briefing as needed. After trial, she manages the post-trial briefing and transitions the case to appeal. </p>
