Zahr K. SaidMiranda Means is a partner in the Boston office of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, where her practice spans litigation and counseling across copyright, trade secret, trademark, right of publicity, art, internet, and advertising law. She represents clients in disputes touching a remarkable breadth of media—social media, video games, fine art, sports, music, and film—and the technologies reshaping them, from artificial intelligence and computer software to consumer electronics. Miranda is perhaps best known for her role in the first AI copyright fair use case in U.S. legal history, work for which American Lawyer named her a “Litigator of the Week.” She pairs a sharp litigation record with a deep commitment to inclusivity and pro bono service, including matters advancing LGBTQ+ rights.
Zahr K. Said is a Professor of Law at Santa Clara University School of Law, where her scholarship sits at the intersection of copyright, artificial intelligence, and the interpretive questions at the heart of intellectual property disputes. A nationally recognized voice on the role of the jury in IP litigation and on how courts read and construe creative works, Professor Said brings an unusually interdisciplinary lens to legal questions—grounded in advanced training in comparative literature as well as law. She is also a committed teacher and innovator in legal pedagogy, having authored an open-access tort law casebook that reframes the field around questions of race, gender, class, and ability.
