• seeking and defending interlocutory injunction applications;
• representing parties at mediations;
• trade mark and patent oppositions and appeals;
• preparation of opinions relating to validity and infringement of intellectual property rights
I am a contributing author to Lahore et al., Copyright & Designs.
Prior to coming to the Bar, I was a partner in the IP/TP and telco group of Mallesons Stephen Jaques.
