Prior to joining Bristows, Jessica worked for almost a decade with premium global fashion brands and luxury multi-brand retailers. Her job functions included visual merchandising, product development, business development, and sales. Through this experience, she cultivated a deep appreciation of design and branding, and became interested in the essential nature of Intellectual Property Law – especially where it relates to counterfeiting and the preservation of innovation and brand value.

She joins Bristows from another substantial UK law firm, where she was latterly working as a paralegal.

Jessica has supported the co-ordination and direction of one of the world’s most influential contemporary art fairs, as well as several luxury fashion houses’ shows at London and Paris Fashion Weeks.
