Operating offices across the UK, Germany, and Spain, Boult Wade Tennant LLP is well-placed to advise on pan-European mandates, evidenced by one client praising it is ‘a go-to firm in Europe’. In particular, the team is noted for its expertise in infringement and validity advice. London-based Tessa Bucks helms the firm’s engineering and designs practice, while Nina White chairs the biotechnology and life science department, working with a diverse client roster which includes SMEs and university start-ups. Adrian Hayes leads the chemical and materials group from Reading; both he and Rohan Setna (based in London) frequently appear in opposition and appeal proceedings before the EPO. Oliver Rutt, also in London, is another key name in this area, as is Jonathan Palmer, who heads up the high-tech and electrical group.
