She joins from Morgan Lewis & Bockius, where she set up the firm’s IP department in Paris in 2009, and handles general patent work and litigation.

Before that, she was at Jones Day and at Giroux, Buhagiar & Associés. While there, she passed the New York bar exam.

Taylor Wessing now has IP expertise in Paris, London and Munich – the three locations of the central division of the Unified Patent Court, which is expected to launch in the next few years.
