Overview

Delia assists clients with labor and employment matters, especially when they intersect with intellectual property law.

Delia’s interest in law was first sparked by a publishing law course during her master’s program at New York University. Her interest continued to grow during her corporate career in the publishing industry, where she found herself drawn to the complexities of legal issues and the stories behind them. Her experience managing teams and negotiating publishing contracts has given her a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the importance of IP ownership in employment agreements.

Delia’s time in law school was marked by a strong focus on intellectual property and labor law, and she graduated with a special certification in IP law. She also found herself surprisingly drawn to oral arguments and litigation, leading her to participate in trial advocacy and deposition advocacy programs. Her independent study on labor law, where she examined current unionization strategies among large national corporations, further solidified her interest in the L&E field.

Now a fully qualified attorney, Delia provides representation during litigation as well as preventative counsel. She has a special interest in and passion for advising on diversity, equity, and inclusion principles, and she brings a unique blend of experiences from working in small businesses, franchises, and large corporations.

Known as a strategic problem-solver, Delia is adept at understanding the context of issues, synthesizing insights, and developing creative solutions to complex problems.
