Position
Camilla is a Partner in the Dispute Resolution team. She has focussed on multi-jurisdictional patent litigation and advisory work for all of her career. Camilla now works exclusively on matters relating to the life sciences industry and is recognised for her expertise in this arena.

She has also developed particular expertise for the strategic management of patent litigation which spans multiple jurisdictions and covers multiple patents.
In addition to her expertise in patent litigation, Camilla has a strong understanding of the overlapping protections of patents and regulatory exclusivities and also supplementary protection certificates (SPCs).
Her work is most recently exemplified by Camilla’s representation of clients in the UK High Court, Court of Appeal and at the Court of Justice of the European Union. Recent examples of cases include Cubist-v-Hospira [2018] EWCA Civ 12, Actavis-v-Sanofi [2014] R.P.C. 20 but her career started with her involvement in cases such as Taylor-v-Ishida [2001] EWCA Civ 1092 and Haberman-v-Jackel [1999] 1 WLUK 492.
