Me in a minute
I have always wanted to help people protect and exploit their intellectual properties
I know I have made a right choice when I decided to become a lawyer specialising in intellectual property law, as my practice allows me to combine the things that I am passionate about.
Both an avid consumer of most things artistic and a keen student of science, I have always wanted to help people protect and exploit their intellectual properties. Over the years I have been given the opportunity to advise a diverse range of clients from technology start-ups to arts-related institutions and to tackle exciting challenges requiring both appreciation of the clients' field and in-depth knowledge of the law to come up with a practical solution, for which I can only be grateful.
I love the excitement and the challenge that the variety of my practice poses.
