New Browne Jacobson associate bolsters intellectual property team


13 July 2009


Browne Jacobson has continued to invest in its specialist Intellectual Property (IP) team by recruiting new associate Emma Tuck.

Emma joins the firm after having spent the last seven years at Wragge & Co LLP, where she dealt with a mix of complex IP cases, as well as commercial disputes relating to a wide range of IP matters. Having acted for a number of organisations on trademark, patent and the licensing of IP assets, Emma will bolster Browne Jacobson’s existing team and develop its services in this key area.

Browne Jacobson is seen as being one of strongest IP specialists outside of London and this latest appointment marks a period of rapid expansion for the 15-strong team which in recent months has seen the arrival of Partner Mark Daniels and Associate Sara McNeill, both from Wragge & Co.

“We see huge growth in this area as businesses move to protect their IP rights in challenging economic times,” comments Declan Cushley, intellectual property partner at Browne Jacobson. “Emma’s experience in the field is perfectly in line with our national IP offering and her specialism in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors will boost our full range of market-leading IP services.”

Browne Jacobson works on behalf of both national and international clients, offering a full range of IP services that include film rights and sponsorship deals, patent litigation and marketing and advertising.
