My practice incorporates clients from a broad range of industries including the pharmaceutical sector, finance, technology, retail, food and drink, music and publishing.

I have extensive experience in all aspects of brand selection, protection and portfolio management. I am particularly skilled and experienced in trade mark clearance searching, being acknowledged for my clear concise advice, with a truly commercial perspective.

I handle all aspects of trade mark prosecution and enforcement, before the UK and European Union Trade Mark Offices, as well as in a wide range of countries worldwide. I am highly experienced in contentious matters before the UKIPO and EUIPO, including settlement negotiations the drafting of co-existence agreements, and supporting clients as part of legal teams with solicitors and counsel in court proceedings.

My work also includes counterfeit cases with Trading Standards and customs authorities in a range of countries.
