Jillian Postal counsels businesses, brands, and high-profile individuals at the moment that matters most: before a disagreement becomes a dispute. Her practice sits at the intersection of business and intellectual property, and with degrees in finance and marketing, she approaches matters with a focus on the client’s business, not just the law.
On the business litigation side, Jillian represents companies large and small in shareholder disputes, breach of fiduciary duty claims, deceptive and unfair trade practices, civil RICO claims, tortious interference claims, intellectual property disputes, and non-compete enforcement. She also handles real estate disputes involving ownership rights, landlord-tenant matters, broker commission disputes, and “ready, willing, and able buyer” claims.
In her transactional and counseling practice, Jillian helps consumer brands, content creators, and athletes protect what makes them valuable. She prosecutes and defends trademarks and copyrights, assists on petitions before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and advises brands on the defensibility of fair use, issues pertaining to work-for-hire, and IP ownership. Jillian handles advertising and content review and clearances, and advises clients related to sweepstakes and promotions, FTC, truth-in-advertising issues, and dispute resolution in state and federal courts, as well as the National Advertising Division of the BBB (NAD) considerations. When working with athletes and talent, Jillian protects clients’ name, image, and likeness rights and the goodwill their brands have built. She has obtained written opinions in NFLPA arbitrations and regularly resolves matters through ADR.
