Waseem Moorad is the Senior Partner and a co-founder of Kondori & Moorad, LLP. His practice is concentrated in estate planning, wealth preservation, trust and estate administration, business succession planning, and related matters involving the protection and transfer of personal and business assets.
Waseem advises individuals, families, business owners, executives, investors, and fiduciaries on planning strategies tailored to their personal circumstances, financial interests, and long-term objectives. His approach reflects the understanding that estate planning often intersects with taxation, real estate, business ownership, family relationships, incapacity planning, and the eventual administration of trusts and estates.
In addition to advising clients, Waseem contributes to the firm’s strategic direction, professional outreach, and continuing development. His experience as an attorney, educator, entrepreneur, and real estate investor informs a practical approach to planning and problem-solving, particularly for clients whose personal, business, and financial interests require coordinated consideration.
Waseem also serves as Director of the Intellectual Property and Technology Law Clinic and Associate Professor of Law at The George Washington University Law School, where he teaches and supervises law students representing clients in intellectual property and technology matters. He previously founded and directed the Intellectual Property Law Clinic at Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law and served as Acting Director of the Detkin Intellectual Property and Technology Legal Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.
Before entering academia, Waseem held a number of legal and institutional roles at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. His government and academic experience continues to inform his work involving professional education, organizational development, innovation, and the thoughtful use of emerging technologies within legal practice.
Waseem has also founded and managed several business ventures and has remained actively involved in real estate investment and development. These experiences provide him with firsthand insight into the planning concerns of entrepreneurs, investors, professionals, and families whose affairs extend beyond conventional estate-planning considerations.
Waseem is active in professional education relating to estate planning, fiduciary responsibility, guardianship, intellectual property, and legal education. He was an invited speaker at the 2026 World Congress on Adult Capacity in Amsterdam and is scheduled to speak at the 2026 National Guardianship Association Conference in Arlington, Virginia.
