After completing a degree in languages, I initially worked in the trade mark department of a German law firm. It is safe to say that I was hooked by the varied nature of the work and my language skills proved particularly useful. After moving to the UK, I decided to become a trade mark attorney and have not looked back.

Although I handle all aspects of trade mark law and the full life cycle of a trade mark, my natural strength and interests lie in contentious matters. This can involve anything from “fighting” my client’s case before the UKIPO’s Registrar, the Tribunal Section or the Appointed Person to negotiating a settlement. As an example, during an IPEC (High Court) case, where I formed part of the litigation team, I worked with the client to review and collect evidence of reputation. The evidence we provided was a key aspect of the proceedings and played an important role in the Judge’s decision that the client’s brand had a reputation in the UK and the EU.

My client base is really varied, from private individuals to major corporate companies across a wide range of industries. I have a particular interest and expertise in the food and beverage industry and represent a number of international restaurant clients. I also have in-house experience from secondments, working in-house with a client’s legal department. Working directly for a major client in the retail industry gave me an invaluable insight into a client’s needs from an in-house perspective. My general approach is to listen very carefully to my clients and their goals, before recommending the approach that will most likely achieve the best result for them.
