Prior to joining DWT, Conrad practiced at a transactional law firm specializing in the representation of film and television producers, distributors, and financiers.

Before becoming a transactional attorney, Conrad worked as a litigator at an Am Law 100 firm where he prosecuted and defended entertainment-related matters, including breach of contract, copyright and trademark infringement, defamation, and right of publicity actions on behalf of media companies and talent. He also performed strategic management of trademark portfolios (including enforcement and prosecution) for multinational corporations, technology startups, and entertainment companies.
