His experience includes cases involving blockbuster small molecule, antibody, and non-biological complex drugs, and medical devices. Simon’s expertise also encompasses the chemical sector, and he has assisted in cases involving polymers and industrial chemical processes. Much of Simon’s work involves cross-border litigation and he has extensive experience assisting as co-counsel in litigation taking place across Europe and elsewhere, including the US and Asia. Simon’s strong scientific background, which includes a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Oxford and post-doctoral research experience, gives him a deep understanding of the technical side of the healthcare and chemical sectors.
