K&S attorneys structure and implement strategies to achieve economic advantage for clients with businesses based in the sciences, applied technologies, luxury goods, fashion, cosmetic and service fields. Our distinctive analysis ensures that we have considered all intellectual property rights (patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret) and calculated the most appropriate combination of actions (licensing, transactions, portfolio management, litigation) tailored to every client's individual needs. We've been engineers, chemists, patent holders, product developers and research pharmacists and we work together to bring each of our individual talents and experience to every assignment. We've also operated businesses, developed anti-counterfeiting programs, structured deals, counseled on technologies and developed trademarks and therefore can relate to many of our client's businesses. The combination of this knowledge and a well-developed relationship with our clients has been the key to our continued success. |

For three years he did general litigation (securities fraud, antitrust, commerical contracts, aviation crash, Defense Department/NASA contracts etc.) before switching to intellectual property ("IP"= patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret) litigation, licensing, and protection. In 1996 he helped start a new IP firm in New York City, and in 2003 earned a black belt in karate. |

The mission is to prepare students for college with an emphasis on writing across the curriculum and for publications and in other extracurricular activities. Urban education, especially in mathematics, is a crucial challenge for our country to ensure opportunity and access to higher education for often underserved students. Since it is often hard to experience the real work of education while on an academic-year schedule, this externship is an opportunity to quickly get a broader sense of what the work of a teacher is like. The University now offers more opportunities to continue exploring the field during the term, including the Neighborhood Schools Program and UTEP. Hopefully, the questions raised during this opportunity are ones which the extern can continue to pursue later. |

For the last four years, he also served as program chair and data coordinator, supporting the organization and administration of the school through work outside the classroom. Before joining Bronx Letters as a New York City Teaching Fellow, he worked at UBS in Chicago and Stamford, Connecticut, where he was an executive director of equity trading. Currently he is involved in teaching mathematics (grades 10 & 11), co-chairing the mathematics department, and additional work in collaborations supporting teacher education and preparation. His expertise is in Mathematics education, secondary education, urban education, school reform, using data for instruction and school change. |

| About the Host: | Mr. Van Der Laan works on a variety of projects. Currently, his projects consist of (1) a $75MM contract renegotiation for the Children's Publishing Group, (2) leading a team to examine and better the $100MM annual paper spend, and (3) working with a broad cross-disciplinary team to better understand the supply chain to reduce excess cost by $25MM. Mr. Van Der Laan also leads all environmental initiatives at Random House and he is the Deputy Chair of the employee Green Committee. This externship, although brief, should give you a great chance to see how you might apply your University of Chicago education in a business setting. The book industry is a mature industry with slow top line growth, but one that is undergoing massive change because of the explosive growth of digital content, the rise of online bookselling, and ever-bigger blockbuster authors. Honestly, it's a very exciting time in publishing, and I'd be glad to let you see what my life here at Random House is like. If you do have any special interests (sales, production, general book publishing, digital content, sustainability and environmental initiatives etc), please let me know ahead of time and I'll try to arrange some interesting meetings or conversations. |
