“I have worked with a broad range of clients, from private and public educational institutions and individual inventors to established national and international businesses. Earlier in my career, I also worked as a Brand Ambassador for a range of leading brands, giving me valuable insight into the commercial value of a strong brand and the importance clients place on protecting it. This perspective, combined with my legal experience, enables me to understand clients’ priorities and deliver practical, commercially focused advice tailored to their objectives.”
