I manage portfolios from start to finish. I have a track record of success in providing strategic advice and guiding clients through the clearance and registration process. I am adept at drafting coexistence agreements and engaging in productive dialogue with other parties. My background, having previously lived in multiple countries, has given me a global perspective and has enabled me to handle complex international assignments with success. I am dedicated to delivering exceptional results for my clients and take pride in the high level of service and support I provide. My work is incredibly diverse, and I support clients across sectors including media and entertainment, interactive entertainment, insurance, publishing, technology, consumer goods, hospitality and professional services.

I am passionate about my work and always excited by new challenges. I am committed to continuing to provide high quality service and support to my clients to help them achieve their goals. I see myself as an extension of their internal team and take pride in earning their trust and building lasting relationships.

As an active participant in Boult’s vacation scheme and a passionate advocate for diversity in the legal industry, I believe it is essential to provide opportunities for a wide range of talent. Being recognised as a Notable Star by MIP was a great honour, and I am grateful to my clients for their support. I have also been ranked in WTR 1000, 2024 and have been named as a key attorney by the Legal 500, 2023.

Recent experience

Managing a complex global trade mark assignment programme for a large publishing client in relation to consolidation of various publishing divisions prior to sale and restructure. This involved transfers of trade mark ownership within the UK and internationally; various due diligence exercises prior to sale; and engagement with the new owner’s representatives following acquisition for the transfer of acquired rights.

Ongoing management of global trade mark portfolio for a household name in the interactive entertainment sector. This includes managing its vast global trade mark portfolio (pre-filing advice, filing, prosecution and opposition internationally), providing strategic advice in the acquisition of new rights, enforcement of rights around the world through oppositions and conflict resolution with third parties.

Ongoing strategic advice and management of multiple territorial opposition actions – some ongoing – for a household name in the interactive entertainment sector in relation to its flagship and iconic video games franchise. These have been long running opposition actions, some of which have culminated in hearings before the General Court of the European Union.
