About Vivek H.

Vivek H. Vaidya built a path to law that moves between cities and disciplines. He studied political science at the University of California, Irvine, graduated in 2010 and spent time in Barcelona studying international business in 2008. He returned to California for legal training, earning a J.D. from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 2015.

His early legal experience came while still a student. He worked in the USF Internet and Intellectual Property Law Clinic and served as a legal assistant at the Creative Industry Law Group. Outside the clinic, he volunteered on music business programming and supported a lawyer referral service through California Lawyers for the Arts. Those roles exposed him to the practical side of intellectual property work and the needs of creators and small enterprises.

After law school he joined Bend Law Group, P.C. In 2015 he is listed as Senior Intellectual Property and Brand Protection Lawyer at that firm. His resume also records a variety of other positions before and during his studies: teaching English abroad, serving as a resident counselor at a UCLA pre-college program, coaching college applicants, and even guiding tourists on city bike tours. The breadth of experience points to an attorney comfortable in both client-facing and technical settings.

Vaidya’s background crosses transactional and protective aspects of brand and IP law. He has handled matters that touch on internet and intellectual property concerns through clinic work and later through private practice. The combination of law clinic training and work in a private firm places him in the intersection of rights clearance, brand policing and client counseling.

Colleagues and clients encounter an attorney who moves between detail and strategy. He navigates licensing and enforcement questions and advises about brand identity and online presence. He has also been involved in community-oriented legal programs, reflecting a steady interest in the cultural and commercial ecosystems that produce creative work.

Vaidya is admitted to practice in California. He continues at Bend Law Group, P.C., where he handles intellectual property and brand protection matters for businesses and individuals. His practice focuses on intellectual property and brand protection.
