About

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

I advise clients on the protection, exploitation and enforcement of all intellectual property and related rights including patents, designs, trade marks, passing off, copyright and confidential information. I also advise individuals and companies on media and reputation matters, including defamation, privacy, data protection, breach of confidence and harassment.

I have acted for clients across a broad range of industries, with a particular focus on media & entertainment, sport and technology.

I also work closely with our in-house trade mark attorney team to advise on the registration of trade marks, management of large portfolios and enforcement of rights.

I am an active member of our Responsible Business Committee, with a special interest in the Education & Social Mobility, Pro Bono and Sustainability sub-committees. I am also an IPSoc member.
