Expansion of Trade Mark Team

This article was taken from the Venner Shipley Newsletter edition 22.

Kate Széll has joined the London trade mark team as a partner, bringing with her Julia McFarlane, a qualified solicitor, as her assistant.

Kate brings with her a portfolio of clients which will, amongst other things, further strengthen Venner Shipley’s links with America. She leaves Lloyd Wise, where she was a partner and joins the Venner Shipley trade mark team alongside partners Alan Venner and Ed Harrison and associates Rachel Harrison and Ed Carstairs.

‘I am delighted to be joining a progressive, growing firm with a well-established trade mark practice where there are partners dedicated to trade mark work. I particularly like Venner Shipley’s simple attorney-based approach,’ she says, ‘which will allow me to focus on clients and be more responsive to their needs. Venner Shipley also handles trade mark renewals on behalf of its clients, which helps make the management of trade mark portfolios more effective. This is of enormous benefit to clients.’

The firm has also seen recent growth in other areas, with Matthew Handley joining us on the biotechnology side, Kenneth Huang and David Taylor, who specialise in IT and electronics and Paulette Lewis who joins us as renewals manager.
