Thomas is a trainee patent attorney with experience in drafting and prosecuting patent applications. His broad exposure to different areas of physics during his degree, combined with his curious nature and creative approach to problem-solving, helps him support clients with their intellectual property (IP).

Thomas works with clients ranging from large multinational corporations to individual inventors. He spends most of his time drafting and prosecuting patent applications across a variety of technological sectors. This work is helping him build experience and familiarity with the worlds of technology, IP and the legal systems in place.
