My work with clients involves the entire IP life cycle from the initial innovation stage, IP protection and commercialisation and enforcement of rights. My areas of expertise also encompass privacy, technology and Australian Consumer Law issues.

My practice covers both contentious and non-contentious IP matters. I assist clients to enforce their IP rights by acting in opposition proceedings before IP Australia and in Federal Court proceedings. 

On the commercial side, I work with clients to identify and protect their IP and increasingly clients require assistance with IP transactions with a cross border element. I also carry out advertising compliance reviews for advertising campaigns.

In the privacy area, I have extensive experience with privacy projects and aiding clients with privacy compliance procedures and policies, as well as advising on data breach issues and reporting obligations. 

My work includes:

• trade mark prosecution, rebranding projects and product launches
• commercialisation and licensing of copyright, trade marks and patents
• intellectual property litigation
• trade mark opposition proceedings
• domain name advice and disputes
• advertising compliance reviews to check for IP and Australian Consumer Law issues
• privacy advice including preparing privacy policies and consent documents, responding to access requests and preparing data breach notifications to the OAIC
• preparing and negotiating a range of IT agreements
• product labelling advice
• product recalls
