Wolff is an engineer by training. Following law school, she practiced as an intellectual property attorney in California, specializing in patent law and trademark law. As an associate at Knobbe Martens and Foley & Lardner, she counseled many early-stage startups on intellectual property strategy. Seeing an unmet need for part-time in-house patent counsel for growing technology startups, she joined Aurora Consulting Group (formerly Hudak Consulting Group), where she and two other University of Michigan alumnae provided such services.
Most recently, Wolff worked at the University of Michigan Office of Technology Transfer, advising faculty on technology commercialization, developing patent protection strategies, and negotiating IP licenses and other agreements. For several years, she has also served as a guest lecturer at the University of Michigan College of Engineering.
