I am a partner in our Intellectual Property practice based in London, specialising in IP enforcement and litigation across a range of rights including patents, trade marks, designs and confidential information. I frequently act in complex litigation (often with a cross border element) before the IPEC, High Court, Court of Appeal and CJEU, as well as in proceedings before the EUIPO/UKIPO. I also advise on international customs enforcement programmes and detentions.

I am fascinated by IP and the challenge of helping my clients protect, exploit and defend their IP rights to further their business objectives.

The first edition of the International Comparative Legal Guide to: Designs 2021 was published this month and is a practical cross-border insight into designs law. We have contributed two chapters covering the Cofemel decision and its impact on design rights and design laws and regulations in the UK co-authored by Ewan Grist and Louise Vaziri Zanjani. Katharine Stephens and Ewan Grist were the contributing editors.
