Philip S. Corwin is a Founding Principal at VirtuaLaw LLC; he founded the company over a decade ago and in that time he has also worked as a Partner at Butera & Andrews,[1] and as the Counsel for the Internet Commerce Association, and Of Counsel for Greenberg & Lieberman, LLC.[2][3][4][5][6] According to a Press Release of March, 2011, Corwin is joining Greenberg & Lieberman, LLC in Of Counsel capacity.[7]
He has been representing the Internet Commerce Association for a number of years at ICANN meetings and at other industry fora.

Mr. Corwin has more than thirty years of experience in the legal industry.[8] He specialises in bankruptcy, financial services, intellectual property, and electronic commerce law.[9] His clients have included Information Technology Association of America, First Virtual Holdings, PenOp, MP3.com, CenterSpan Communications, Sharman Networks Limited (Kazaa), and the Internet Commerce Association.
Before Mr. Corwin joined Buerta & Andrews, he was a Government Relations Director at the American Bankers Association. He was also a member of the United States Senate professional staff.

ICA[edit | edit source]
