Raina is the founder and lead attorney of Erdős Intellectual Property Law. For her, creativity and critical analysis go hand-in-hand. She sees her practice as not just a profession, but a calling. She is an intellectual property attorney registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and a graduate of the University of North Carolina School of Law. She has served as counsel to major healthcare and research institutions. She clerked in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of North Carolina where she analyzed business litigation and drafted precedent-setting legal opinions that became the law of the Federal Middle District of North Carolina. Prior to joining the legal profession, she was a business analyst and software engineer at a major Wall Street financial firm in New York City, New York. She was a research fellow at the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences in the Neurotoxicology and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance labs. At Wellesley College, her alma mater, she majored in bioinformatics.
Raina is not just a geeky techie--she devotes as much attention to history and creative writing. At Wellesley College, she minored in Middle Eastern studies. She has written several poems, short stories, and screenplays. Her favorite causes are those that seek to empower marginalized groups. She sees intellectual property law as a way to resist marginalization by connecting creativity to commercial prosperity.
