I have experience conducting major patent litigation across a wide range of technical fields, handling significant design and trade mark disputes, and assisting clients in formulating portfolio strategy. I started my professional career as a general commercial litigator, and I think many clients value that broader strategic approach, particularly when dealing with complex problems which may include multiple and overlapping rights, contractual matters and non-standard IP disputes.” Sara is heavily involved in thought leadership in intellectual property law and procedure. She is President of AIPPI UK, the leading non-government organisation for research into and formulation of policy for intellectual property, and a member of the UK Government’s Expert Trade Advisory Group for IP.

It is critical that as practitioners we contribute to safeguarding and improving IP law, and ensure that all views and interests are represented. As President of AIPPI UK, I am able to contribute to policy work that has an impact in the UK and internationally, and the UK group provides valuable training events to our membership.” Sara is also and has been for many years heavily involved in the Oxford University Post Graduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Law and Practice, lecturing on litigation, tutoring and examining on designs and copyright, and is a member of the Diploma’s Management Committee.

The majority of my caseload involves disputes where parties or their assets are based offshore, in Europe, Africa, Asia, India, North and South America, and many other parts of the world. I work closely with lawyers in other jurisdictions to ensure that clients receive advice that is seamless and that the tactics we deploy are informed by essential local knowledge. I’m a specialist in cross border enforcement measures, and have a wealth of first hand international experience in this area (including in Emerging Markets). Over a number of years, I attended the negotiation of the 2019 Hague Convention (HCCH) on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil or Commercial Matters as an observer for the International Bar Association (IBA). It has been a privilege to be involved in such an important project, which promises to stream-line international enforcement measures for clients whose business or personal interests cross borders. I continue to be an observer for the IBA at the new HCCH Jurisdiction Project working group, and I’m an officer on the IBA’s Litigation Committee.
