Biography
Simon gets results: this includes achieving a custodial prison sentence for an IP infringer; defeating a multinational brand on behalf of a SME in a trade mark infringement claim; successfully retrieving domain names for 100 famous authors in the first class action of its kind; persuading a court to allow service of a court claim via Instagram – another first; acting for Apprentice winners to protect their IP rights; protection of the IP owned by A list individuals; winning six and seven figure damages claims for and against high street fashion retailers for IP infringements; regularly co-ordinating cross border IP infringements on a worldwide basis. Simon’s skills are not confined to the IP disputes arena: he also advises on IP strategy and finds innovative commercial solutions to intractable problems, particularly in the tech and fintech sectors.
