Our team has commercial and in-house IP experience at a senior level in the pharmaceutical industry, including large, small and start-up companies. More recent graduates and post-graduates bring up-to-the-minute scientific skills to the group.

The group has a reputation for succeeding in difficult legal questions where others have failed, thus providing success in cases which are often commercially very valuable.
