I am a Chartered Trade Mark Attorney and advise a wide variety of clients on all aspects of UK and international trade mark law and practice.

With over 18 years experience both in private practice and in-house, I regularly provide strategic IP advice to clients for the protection and enforcement of trade mark portfolios worldwide. I have substantial experience with portfolio management, oppositions, invalidation and revocation actions, infringement and passing off, taking into account appropriate commercial considerations. I also have advocacy experience in inter partes and ex parte Hearings before the UKIPO.

I have acted for clients across a wide range of sectors such as automotive, life sciences, financial and technology industries, retail & consumer goods and have a particular focus on advertising & marketing and sports, media & entertainment.

I sit on CITMA's Education, Qualification and Standards committee which assists with the development and requirements for individuals to become qualified Trade Mark Attorneys. I am the editor of our Trade Marks Round-Up publication which looks at recent cases in the UK and EU and the impact the decisions may have on our clients. I have been recognised as a key lawyer in the Legal 500 and WTR 1000 rankings.
