He also prepares invalidity, validity, infringement, non-infringement, and freedom to operate opinions in various chemical-related technology areas.
Paul has a particular interest in energy-related technologies. Prior to law school, Paul interned with various oil and gas companies in both upstream and downstream operations, as well as with a nuclear power company. While at Queen's University completing his chemical engineering degree, Paul was involved in multiple projects relating to renewable and alternative energy sources, such as bio-fuel and solar technologies.

He has represented several disabled military veterans before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veteran Claims in appeals related to denial of benefits as well as tenants in landlord-tenant disputes for the D.C.
