“My experience working in-house gives me an insight into what clients need and want”

“I have coordinated patent actions and enforcement strategies across multiple jurisdictions, working with lawyers from  USA, Canada, Australia, and mainland Europe. I’ve also worked in-house as a senior counsel at a multinational pharmaceutical company, giving me a further insight into the commercial pressures facing large companies in complex and multi-jurisdictional patent disputes.

I have always loved learning about natural science and technology. This love of the subject, along with my PhD-level science background and my in-house experience are the reasons I’m so passionate about TMT. I’m also an active listener. It all means I’m skilled at communicating with clients in their own language.

I think my background means I can bring a lot of value to my clients’ matters. It makes me creative and collaborative in my approach, knowledgeable in a wide variety of technologies, quick to absorb complex technical points, and able get to the heart of matters swiftly and efficiently.”
