How We Live Our Values: Collaboration

I’m drawn to IP because it sits at the intersection of creativity, innovation and strategy. This comes through most clearly when I meet clients, learn about their businesses and understand their goals. That is not only the most interesting and rewarding part of my role, it is also what drives me. Helping clients turn ideas into protected, valuable assets so they can realise the full value of what they’ve created.

In My Own Words

I started my career in advertising over 20 years ago, and I have always been fascinated by the power of brands - how they are built, protected and brought to life. That interest has stayed with me, but now I explore it from the legal side.

I love working in intellectual property because it brings together creativity, strategy and real-world impact. What I value most is collaborating with brilliant IP specialists and supporting such a diverse and inspiring group of clients.

Every day is different, and I’m constantly energised by the ingenuity behind the businesses I support.
