As one of our firm's most experienced intellectual property partners, specialising in transactional IP matters, I offer a wealth of knowledge to businesses at the cutting edge of research, development and technology, in a variety of sectors for which IP is of prime importance.

Europe’s biotech industry is more buoyant now than it’s ever been. 

A combination of eager investors, the high-speed development of COVID-19 vaccines, exciting scientific developments and last year’s acceleration of existing trends is driving the sector to new heights.
