Law Offices of
Charles von Simson

About Me

I bring thirty years of legal experience in commercial transactions, regulated industries, and litigation to my Nantucket practice.

Before opening my Nantucket office, I spent over twenty years in private practice in New York specializing in intellectual property transactions and litigation. I have been lead counsel in state and federal courts throughout the United States and have represented clients in complex negotiations in the United States and Canada.

Between New York and Nantucket, I taught at the University of Wisconsin Law School and worked at a legal tech startup in Toronto.

While in law school, I served as Editor in Chief of the Brooklyn Journal of International Law.  I began my legal career as law clerk to United States District Judge John T. Curtin. 

Before law school I had a stub of a career in journalism, including a run as a reporter for the Lowell Sun, where I covered fires, local scandal, and a national champion baton-twirler.
