So tell me more about this Jeff Roberts… 
I am a writer and lawyer based in Montreal and New York. I love words and the infinite ways they can be used for persuasion, beauty and mirth.
Right now I work for a major news company in New York where I write about legal issues related to the new economy and social media.
My free-lance work has appeared in major newspapers and magazines (see below) and covers a wide range of topics such as law, economics and city life.
Among my legal and educational trinkets are a federal court clerkship and an MA in business journalism at Columbia where my thesis was on the Google Books Settlement.
As a lawyer, my primary interest is intellectual property and the ways it can both encourage and suppress creativity. I have worked extensively on IP issues as counsel to the Canadian broadcast regulator and as a member of an IP research group at McGill University.
My interests include literature, hiking and exploring big cities. Baseball and bourbon are my favourite ways to relax.
I am always looking for new opportunities to write. If you need a writer or would just like to correspond, feel free to contact me at jeffjohnroberts at gmail.com
