Basam Nabulsi

Partner, McCarter & English
Mr. Nabulsi has delivered valued counsel to innovative technology companies in strategic IP portfolio management for 30-plus years. In addition to his significant experience as in-house counsel and a private practice lawyer, Mr. Nabulsi leverages his engineering background and familiarity with product development and commercialization in his work. He brings a deep understanding of chemical, mechanical, and electromechanical engineering as well as the dynamic fields of “business method” patents and software-based technologies. Mr. Nabulsi serves as chief IP counsel for clients who lack in-house expertise, including industrial companies, entrepreneurial ventures, medical device clients, and university technology transfer offices. He offers clients valuable guidance on the intersection of IP concerns and other business issues, frequently advising on transactions involving IP assets on behalf of buyers and sellers. He works closely with McCarter’s corporate teams in financing transactions to assess potential IP risks and vet the full spectrum of IP issues that impact the valuation process. He also remains involved in all aspects of IP litigation, working with trial teams on cases heading to injunction hearings, trial, arbitration, and appeal.
