About me
I am an associate in the Competition & Regulatory team, specialising in commercial, trade, regulatory and intellectual property law. I advise clients across a wide range of industries on compliance, contract negotiation and dispute resolution.
Professional highlights
Regulatory compliance. I help clients navigate complex regulatory frameworks, with experience spanning licensing and regulatory matters in technology and media, civil aviation and transport, pharmaceuticals, food, alcoholic beverages and tobacco, advertising, and other consumer goods. I also advise on consumer protection law, including compliance and responding to requests from state institutions and regulators.
Space tech. I advise space tech and New Space companies on a wide range of regulatory matters. I am also engaged in the industry through collaboration with accelerator programmes, providing advisory support to startups and scale-ups as they structure their operations and agreements and grow.
Intellectual property and copyright. I advise clients on a range of intellectual property matters, particularly copyright, including drafting IP contracts and licences, interpreting regulatory requirements, and protecting clients’ rights in cases of infringement or dispute.
Contract law. I advise on all aspects of general civil and commercial law, handling a broad range of agreements, including franchise agreements, sale-of-goods and services contracts, and online terms of use for mobile apps and websites.
Waste management. I advise clients on regulatory issues relating to waste management, including extended producer responsibility and other compliance obligations affecting the placing on the market of packaging, electrical and electronic equipment, batteries, textiles, and other products.
