About

With over a decade of experience in intellectual property law, I specialize in trade mark prosecution, litigation, and portfolio management across multiple jurisdictions, including the UK, EU, Africa, and the USA. My work has encompassed trade mark oppositions, cancellations, infringements, passing-off disputes, domain name complaints, and copyright issues, demonstrating a strong focus on protecting and enforcing brand rights. I have supported clients in diverse industries such as retail, telecoms, and entertainment by conducting clearance searches, managing trade mark applications, and advising on global registration strategies. Additionally, I possess expertise in drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, including co-existence agreements, licenses, and non-disclosure agreements, showcasing my dedication to safeguarding business interests.
