WORK HISTORY
Partner @Knights
I am an intellectual property, general commercial and data protection lawyer. My particular expertise is in intellectual property law. My focus is on brand protection, including matters involving EU and UK trade marks, copyright and design rights. On the trade marks side, this includes clearing, securing, protecting and enforcing trade mark rights for a variety of companies, which involves the management of global trade mark portfolios. I have dealt with opposition and cancellation matters and infringement and anti-counterfeiting disputes. I regularly advise on worldwide branding strategies and the protection and enforcement of a variety of intellectual property rights. I have had lots of experience of advising clients on drafting and negotiating licensing, assignment, settlement and co-existence agreements. My experience also extends to advising on data protection, privacy, cyber security, commercial contracts, regulatory and general commercial matters. Most recently, I have advised companies in the fashion, retail, aviation and telecoms industries on privacy and cyber security matters, particularly in relation to their implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation. While much of my experience stems from the fashion, fashion-technology, luxury brands, retail and consumer goods industries, I have significant experience of helping clients in numerous other industries. These include clients in the financial technology, cloud computing, telecoms and aviation industries. I advise both UK and international clients.
