Ana Andžić Tomlinson’s legal experience encompasses teaching and practicing law. She taught immigration and international law courses at UNM School of Law in 2005 and 2010 and has practiced intellectual property and antitrust (competition) law, commercial litigation, international law, and contract law since 2002.
She is currently a contract attorney at Freedman Boyd Hollander Goldberg Ives & Duncan P.A. where she works with Mr. Joseph Goldberg who has been designated by Best Lawyers in America as the antitrust litigator for 2011. Prior to her current arrangement, she was an in-house research and immigration counsel for the University of New Mexico. There, her principal research clients' annual budget exceeded U.S. $300 million.
She became an attorney in 2002 and, shortly thereafter, opened her own law firm which she ran for over four years, practicing in intellectual property, immigration, and contract law. The intellectual property portion of her practice included copyright and trademark registration as well as negotiation and counseling in matters involving art law, copyright law, patent law, trademark law, and entertainment law. She represented artists and their estates, gallery owners, corporations, and owners of internationally-famous literary and musical works. Her client portfolio in immigration consisted of corporations, hospitals, an archdiocese, universities, and individual clients.
She was born and raised in Serbia which she left to pursue college studies in the United States. Due to a civil war that ravaged her homeland, she settled in the U.S. and considers New Mexico her home. She graduated from UNM School of Law, where she researched for Professor Sherri Burr. Some of those research efforts were captured in the legal textbooks authored by Prof. Burr: Entertainment Law, American Casebook Series, West, 2004 and Art Law: Cases and Materials, Hein, 2004. Under supervision of Professor Jennifer Moore, Ms. Andžić Tomlinson authored a legal memorandum on trafficking in women and refugee status for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Washington, D.C.
Ms. Andžić Tomlinson was a Visiting Associate at Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and The Centre for Contemporary Art in Belgrade, two leading non-profit, non-governmental organizations in Serbia. She published articles on intellectual property protection with the regulatory Bar Association there. She organized and co-hosted a continuing legal education seminar in New Mexico, featuring MEP Helmut Kuhne, Germany’s Representative to the European Union Parliament. Her current research curiosity revolves around the impact of intellectual property, media, and the corresponding international and U.S. legal norms on sovereignty.
