Career

I work with all things intellectual property and digital. In particular, my work focuses on regulatory issues and litigation in the digital space.

I routinely act for clients in, e.g. complicated intellectual property, data protection and technology-related projects and disputes. I have represented clients in litigation before both national and European courts, before arbitral tribunals, as well as in a range of regulatory proceedings and appeals. Clients also often appreciate my technical expertise and understanding of the technological and business details of the projects and disputes I advise on.

Frequently, I am also asked by clients help draft and negotiate complex commercial contracts on everything from multi-jurisdictional licensing deals for both tech and content, to selective distributorship, R&D, consortia, standardisation and so on.
