Erin M. Daly, Ph.D., Esq.

Erin M. Daly, Ph.D., Esq., is an attorney with more than a decade of experience guiding clients through complex legal problems where strategy, judgment, and clarity matter. Her practice spans intellectual property and business matters, as well as disputes, transitions, and enforcement affecting individuals, families, and organizations.

With a background in organic chemistry and biotechnology, Erin brings uncommon technical depth to intellectual property and business matters, particularly in the life sciences. She has advised innovators, entrepreneurs, and companies on protecting intellectual property, navigating patent landscapes, and negotiating agreements that support growth and long-term objectives. Her experience includes managing U.S. and international patent portfolios, drafting and prosecuting patent applications, advising on trade secrets and confidentiality, and supporting IP strategy for clinical-stage technologies.

Erin’s work extends beyond intellectual property to encompass business and civil disputes, family and custody matters, housing-related conflicts, and judgment enforcement. Across these areas, she applies the same core skills—risk analysis, documentation, advocacy, and enforcement—to help clients navigate conflict, resolve uncertainty, and protect what matters most. She approaches disputes deliberately, focusing on outcomes rather than unnecessary escalation.

Her professional background includes private practice, in-house counsel roles, and academic research. She is admitted to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the bars of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Erin has published both scientific research and legal commentary and remains engaged in her community through pro bono work, nonprofit service, and local education initiatives.

Outside her practice, Erin enjoys reading and writing and spending time with her husband and their three children. She values long-term client relationships and is committed to providing thoughtful, practical legal guidance tailored to the realities her clients face.
