Phone number:

Trademarks, creative works and trade secrets are often at the heart of a business. Lisa helps businesses and creators to protect and enforce their intellectual property and, where necessary, defend it in court. She also has a broad civil litigation practice.

Soft IP in its entirety

Lisa’s practice covers copyright, trade mark law, trade name law and the protection of trade secrets. She advises on registration and portfolio matters, assesses infringement risks and takes action as soon as a work, trade mark or trade name is copied or a confidential business asset is at risk of being disclosed. Whether the issue involves copied designs, the unauthorised reuse of content, a clash between trade names or a departing employee with sensitive know-how, Lisa ensures an approach that is legally sound and remains commercially viable.

Litigation

In addition to her IP practice, Lisa has extensive experience in civil litigation. She assists entrepreneurs and businesses in commercial disputes and contractual conflicts. In the courtroom, she combines sharp analysis with a clear overview: first identifying the core of the dispute, then deciding whether to negotiate firmly or proceed to trial, depending on what best serves the client’s commercial interests.

International network

As an active member of the International Association of Young Lawyers (AIJA), Lisa maintains close ties with fellow lawyers both within and outside Europe. This network proves invaluable in cross-border enforcement proceedings, parallel proceedings across multiple jurisdictions and international commercial disputes, where the ability to liaise swiftly with local experts often makes all the difference.

Personal and committed

Lisa is direct, approachable and pragmatic. She translates complex issues into clear options. Lisa remains involved until the matter is resolved, whether at the negotiating table or in court. For entrepreneurs and innovators looking for a solicitor who combines legal acumen with a keen understanding of what is truly at stake commercially, she is a reliable sparring partner and advocate.
