The group is headed by Nick Wallin, one of Europe’s leading practitioners in computer implemented inventions. We have former patent office examiners and attorneys with dual qualifications as Patent Attorney Litigators.  Our attorneys’ working languages include French, German and Mandarin, catering for our diverse client base.

Doctorates and other postgraduate degrees cover varied specialist areas, including machine learning, nuclear magnetic resonance applications, and antenna design.
