As someone with a strong interest in intellectual property law and a personal emphasis on seeking out positive and collaborative professional environments, Bristows was a natural first choice. The firm’s leading IP practice means that the clients and issues being taken on as a legal professional are dynamic, thought-provoking and have significance in the development of law and practice in this area.

I completed my BA LLB in South Africa and my LLM in intellectual property law at the University of Edinburgh. I spent a couple of years working in Geneva at an international trade law think tank and the World Intellectual Property Organisation before deciding to embark on the road to qualification. I was excited to complete my qualification in a world-leading jurisdiction and in a top-class specialised firm.
