“Successful clients have tough jobs. I do what I can to support their operations so that they can spend more time doing the things that matter.”

“I love that my clients and their problems are both relatable, and excitingly cutting edge. At least half the matters I work on have an international element. Working in a borderless world is part and parcel of a tech and IP practice.

I think my clients appreciate the creative but practical solutions I offer, and that I understand both their products and industries. I also try to meet up with my clients to keep up to date on the issues they are facing.

Successful clients have tough jobs. I do what I can to support their operations so that they can spend more time doing the things that matter. Communication is key to ensuring that we are all on the same page, fully understand concerns and issues and are building trust.”

Nick’s recent work highlights:

Acted in SIAC arbitration for a California-based AV product manufacturer in defending claims for alleged breaches of trade mark license agreement.  

Advised a successful Singapore start-up on IP enforcement strategies in the APAC region, and on revisions to its non-disclosure, retail and distribution agreements.
