D Young & Co LLP

Trade marks

Charlotte entered the fascinating world of intellectual property in 2005 with a focus on trade marks and designs. She advises on the creation, protection, exploitation and enforcement of intellectual property rights, both in the UK and internationally.

Charlotte acts for a diverse range of clients of all sizes in sectors such as software and finance to fashion, retail and entertainment. She has a particular interest in domain name disputes and overcoming the challenges GDPR has presented to dealing with problem websites.

Charlotte joined D Young & Co in 2025 as a partner, and prior to this worked in both an IP boutique and a full service law firm.

She is an active member of INTA, MARQUES and CITMA, being involved with committees for all three organisations and the co-chair of the MARQUES education team. In March 2026 Charlotte was elected onto the governing Council of CITMA.
