I am an Associate in the Dispute Resolution team specialising in intellectual property and media disputes.

Brands & IP

• I represent creators, makers and innovators across industries enforcing and protecting the range of intellectual property rights including trade marks, design rights, copyright, patents, confidential information and anti-counterfeit methods.
• I previously completed secondments to the IP legal team at a major international financial institution, supporting its brand enforcement program.

Dispute Resolution

• I have advised clients on trade mark and passing off disputes as well as copyright and database rights issues.
• I have acted for clients on a number of patent infringement and invalidity cases, including cross-border litigation concerning life sciences and technology patents.
• I have advised clients with domain disputes through the ICANN dispute resolution procedure.    
  
  

Media

• I frequently act for media agencies and individuals in relation to removal of online content due to defamatory or copyright issues.

Since being admitted as a solicitor in 2015, I completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Law and Practice at the University of Oxford. Prior to joining Lewis Silkin, I trained and worked at an international law firm where I also completed a secondment to Copenhagen, Denmark.
