Biotech and life sciences specialist Nina White heads up the offering alongside Tessa Bucks, chemical specialist Adrian Hayes, and Jonathan Palmer. Opposition and appeal work is the specialism of Rohan Setna, and Daniel Weston has noteworthy patent drafting expertise. The ‘outstanding’ James Short is recommended, as is the ’incredibly smart’ Neil Thomson. The team is predominantly based across London, Cambridge, and Reading.
