About Me
As a partner specialising in patents and designs in our IP Group in London, I advise clients on all aspects of patents and designs, from their creation to litigation and licensing.
In the course of over 15 years of experience as a solicitor and a patent attorney, I have been fortunate to work with great clients, big and small, across the world and in various sectors, particularly in the telecoms, life sciences, engineering and retail sectors.I have worked on a variety of UK Court of Appeal, High Court and IPEC patent cases relating to a wide range of technologies, including medical devices (glucose monitoring), gene therapy (RNAi), material science (thermoplastics, LEDs), video coding (H.264, HEVC) and aircraft manufacturing. I have been involved in a number of telecoms cases relating to 3G/4G SEP portfolio valuation and FRAND royalty rate determination.
Prior to embarking on a career in law, I studied Engineering at Cambridge University.
In 2020 and 2021, I was recognised as a Rising Star by Managing IP.
