Position

A strategic adviser to brand owners, Justine is a Partner at Hansel Henson specialising in advising on intellectual property creation, protection and exploitation. She also leads the firm’s trade mark portfolio practice.

Justine believes that protection and commercialisation of IP is key to any business.  She is passionate about helping her clients to protect against copycats and those who wrongly assert rights to stifle competition and innovation. Justine advises on pre-action correspondence, settlement negotiations and acts on litigation in the Hight Court and IPEC.

She advises clients on what IP rights they have, and uses her expertise to protect these rights, and draft agreements that commercialise these rights.

With a thriving trade mark portfolio practice, she is experienced in trade mark filing, prosecution, portfolio maintenance, management both nationally and internationally, as well as oppositions and cancellations and the defence of such actions at the UKIPO.

Her clients come from a wide variety of sectors including: the fashion, media, entertainment and creative industries.
