Jennifer A. Puplava

Attorney
Grand Rapids, MI

When I was in college, I became fascinated with the development of the Internet. I channeled that curiosity into a legal practice where I help my technology-forward clients legally protect themselves, stay compliant with rapidly changing laws, create valuable trademarks, and address opportunities and problems that may arise.

Away from the office, I can generally be found wrangling my human and canine family or volunteering for my local community. I don’t have much spare time, but when I do, I enjoy yoga, riding on the bike that goes nowhere, reading, napping, or learning how to (properly) play golf.
