About Me

I specialise in brand protection and transactional IP matters, with a focus on trade mark, product design and copyright for clients in the media, entertainment & sports and consumer & retail sectors. I regularly advise clients on identification, protection, registration and enforcement of their IP rights. I also advise clients on legal issues relating to the commercialisation and internationalisation of IP/IT assets including management of IP portfolios, advising on licensing and franchising strategies across Asia.I have extensive experience advising leading gaming companies, esports leagues and teams in the area of IP protection and regulatory compliance.
