Identify, Monitor, Manage, Enforce. Whether it’s a logo, product design or a unique process, protecting your innovations from the get go is key.

Intro

With over thirteen years’ experience in intellectual property and brand protection, I will bring my unique learnings as an in-house IP lawyer and security professional working for global brands including Discovery Inc. and Meta (formerly, Facebook) to provide a bespoke IP protection service for your business. You get the added benefit of receiving commercially minded, strategic legal advice to make sure that your brand, product and services are properly protected.

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, if you have questions about your brand and how best to protect it, please reach out for a Zoom consultation.

 

Work

I advise on broad intellectual property matters including copyrights, trademarks, designs, and patents. Having worked across a global IP portfolio, I have a high level grasp of multi-jurisdictional IP issues which enables me to provide advice which serves your growing business. Since IP is jurisdictional by nature and you can’t take a “one size fits all” approach, you’ll want to take some early advice to make sure you’re covering all the bases.

I offer searching, filing, watching, maintenance and enforcement services. If you have any questions about protecting your creations and are looking for digestable and practical legal advice, get in touch for an informal chat.

Why Me?

I am a lawyer qualified in England & Wales with over 12 years’ experience in top London law firms as well as in-house at big corporates. My experience spans media disputes, privacy and reputation management and most recently, intellectual property (legal), brand protection, security, strategy, risk assessment and mitigation. Having worked in world renowned global brands like Discovery Inc. and Meta (formerly Facebook) and across media, entertainment, sport and lifestyle/luxury sectors, I can provide you with a unique and commercially focused service across broad IP matters including copyrights, trademarks, patents, designs and domains.

Having managed global IP portfolios and over 200 local IP counsel, I have a great network of local lawyers as well as a high level knowledge and experience of international IP matters. Specifically, my experience at the UKIPO, EUIPO, USPTO and WIPO serve clients with growing businesses well.

If you have a product business and require additional advice on risk management (ISO 31000), global supply chain, information security management systems (ISO 27001) and the like, I can also assist with this.

You Are.

  • You’re an entrepreneur, innovator, creator braving your own new venture or looking to take your existing business to a new level. The focus is on the product or service you are providing as it should be, but protecting your assets and intellectual property is imperative to the overall success and value of your business.

    I will work to learn your business and identify all of your intangible assets so that you have a robust IP protection strategy which aligns with your commercial objectives.

  • You could be a well known, existing brand needing a re-brand, a review of your IP portfolio and coverage, or at the start of a big marketing campaign. It’s always diligent to see what you have and review what you need.

  • If you’re an existing business acquiring or merging with another business, you’ll be needing to review the incoming assets and existing protection and integrate the new IP into your existing portfolio.

  • You create the magic whether it be a new technology, product, design or a unique user flow. What you’re creating is invaluable to your business and your clients so it’s important to get ahead of the game and make sure your assets are protected to the highest level.
