In 2002, Talin left Gallagher and Gallagher to open her own practice, Yacoubian Law Offices, P.C. (“YLO”) where she represented clients in transactional, environmental, healthcare, intellectual property and business litigation matters.  At YLO, Talin served as General Counsel to a conglomerate with interests in renewable energy, oil, and conservation.  In that capacity, she actively engaged in evaluating prospective investments in the United States, Europe and Asia, conducted due diligence for acquisitions, managed employee and personnel legal issues and was involved in multiple disputes arising as a matter of course in the operation of any international business.  Talin’s solid litigation background coupled with her transactional skills makes her a powerful resource for the Firm’s clients. Talin received her Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Pomona College, and her Juris Doctorate from the George Washington National Law Center in Washington, D.C. in 1993.  Talin is a frequent speaker both nationally and internationally and is active in a number of civic, bar, and charitable organizations.
