I am an experienced IP and regulatory lawyer with a particular focus on the life sciences sector. I have advised and represented clients on small molecule pharmaceuticals, biologics (originators and biosimilars), medical devices (traditional and software), as well as in the chemicals, technology, shipping and online publishing sectors. My particular focus is on patent litigation. I have extensive experience of acting before both the English High Court and Court of Appeal. In addition, I have conducted numerous strategic multinational litigation projects in multiple jurisdictions, including at the EPO, through global pharmaceutical product coordination projects for many clients. I also provide regulatory advice on the legislative frameworks governing pharmaceuticals and medical devices, both at EU and national level. I have spent time on secondment to the IP litigation department of a leading IP law firm in the Netherlands as well as the UK legal department of a leading global healthcare IT company, working on non-contentious IP/IT, regulatory and commercial matters.
