Frank Esposito

Distinguished Lawyer

Intellectual Property Law

515 Madison Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10022

Area of Practice: Media & Technology Esposito Partners' principal attorney, Frank M. Esposito, began his legal career as an Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of New York. Representing Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and other high level officials in litigation centering on the policies and practices of New York City, Mr. Esposito functioned as lead counsel for several high profile litigations. Bringing a tremendously successful public sector litigation practice to conclusion, Mr. Esposito left the Corporation Counsel's Office for a preeminent private sector litigation firm. After that firm merged with a leading international law firm, Mr. Esposito continued his representation of Fortune 500 and other multi-national corporations on an international level. In 2010, he realized that the same quality legal representation provided to corporations with extensive legal budgets should be made available to small and mid-size companies unable to allocate millions of dollars to attorney fees. To that end, he formed Esposito Partners to provide large firm caliber services with billing intended to assist in the growth of his clients. Mr. Esposito has spent nearly two decades working in the legal profession representing a diverse array of clients from public officials to public corporations in nearly every business sector, including the financial services, transportation, banking, security and defense sectors. He has tried both federal and state cases, has appeared before judges, commissioners and arbitrators around the country and has argued innumerable matters before courts of varying jurisdictions. Likewise, he has counseled clients on highly capitalized transactions, joint ventures, distribution deals and business arrangements of all types. He has drafted contracts of nearly every form and successfully negotiated agreements covering a range of commercial and individual matters. During his legal career he has developed an extensive network of individuals in nearly every type of business. To them he is an advocate, attorney, counselor and friend. Mr. Esposito believes that law firms should add to the profitability of its clients, and not just draw down on net income. Consequently, Esposito Partners works closely with its clients to devise alternative billing arrangements designed to suit the specific needs of each client. Further, Mr. Esposito provides his clients with access to his other clients, business partners and corporations who may offer mutual benefits. His client list is extensive and impressive.

Intellectual Property Law

2325 E Camelback Rd suite 400, Phoenix, AZ 85016, USA

As a mid-career JD recipient, an award-winning student trial advocate from the Syracuse University College of Law, specializing in Intellectual Property Law, and a member of the prestigious national society – The Order of Barristers – I have developed a profound understanding of the legal intricacies in this field. My academic journey, including a Master of Studies in Law from the University of Southern California and an MBA from Northeastern University, has equipped me with a unique perspective on the intersection of law, business, and innovation. In my previous role as the head of a multi-million-dollar education management organization, I honed my skills in governance, oversight, financial management, and public relations. These experiences have not only sharpened my business acumen but also my ability to analyze complex situations, negotiate effectively, and drive performance improvements. My involvement in various boards, including at SABIS Holding – which owns a wide array of intellectual property and proprietary systems in the K-12 education sector – directly aligns with my passion for protecting and managing intellectual assets. My global experiences and multicultural understanding, enhanced by my proficiency in languages like French, Spanish, and Arabic, allow me to approach intellectual property issues with a unique international perspective. This is particularly relevant in today’s interconnected world, where legal considerations often transcend national boundaries. What excites me most about the prospect of working with my clients is the opportunity to apply my business insights and legal knowledge in a dynamic environment that values innovation and intellectual property. I am eager to bring my diverse interests and strengths, including in litigation, public speaking, and leadership, to each of our clients.
