Introduction

I have just been admitted to the Maryland Bar, as of December 2005, after completing law school at the University of Baltimore in May of 2005. My legal interests include intellectual property and technology transfer along with corporate and international law. I have developed these interests through both my law school and prior experiences. Before law school I worked in software development and testing. I also earned a B.B.A. in international business and an M.S. in information and telecommunications systems. In addition to my J.D., I also earned M.B.A. at the University of Baltimore.

Practice

I have started my own law practice, the Law Offices of Matthew Blackwell

My practice areas will include:

Other Projects

My latest project is a website International IP Law Forum.com with some friends from law school. We are using the site to write and explore issues related to international intellectual property law.

I am still maintaining my language projects on this site.

Direction

Ideally, I would like to find a job that allows me to use my law, business, and technology experience. This unique combination of experience seems especially well suited to international technology transactions. I would like to apply my experience and knowledge in either private practice or an in-house counsel environment.
