ABOUT TIM SAMPSON

Tim’s practice concludes both contentious and non-contentious construction law and all aspects of UK and European intellectual property law (copyrights, trademarks and brand rights, rights in designs and patents) as well as more general Chancery and commercial litigation; in particular in relation to cases with highly technical and expert evidence. He also advises on and drafts commercial contracts, licensing and franchising agreements, and software licensing agreements. Tim is regularly instructed in disputes in the High Court (including the TCC and IPEC, the Chancery Division, and the Queen’s Bench Division), UKIPO (in particular trade mark opposition and cancellation proceedings), arbitrations (under LCIA rules) and serious multi-track disputes in the County Court. He is also regularly involved in construction disputes referred to adjudication and the enforcement of such decisions at both first instance in the TCC and on appeal to the Court of Appeal. Tim is also instructed in relation to represent parities in formal mediations across all of his practise areas. In addition, Tim also lectures and writes on his specialist areas of legal practise and for a number of years has taught on professional training courses run by BPP University.
