Thomas heads the IP department of the China Group at Taylor Wessing and assists European and American companies in all aspects of intellectual property rights in China.

Licensing law, technology and data transfer and R&D are as much a part of his practice as the dialogue with political decision makers.

These services and the strategically experienced representation in arbitration proceedings in and outside China illustrate the breadth of his expertise in IP and IT law.
