My technical field of expertise is chemistry and food science. I have focused, in particular, on polymer science and the nutritional, physical-chemical aspects of food science as well as process engineering. My knowledge and experience will ensure I have a good understanding of your invention, enabling me to transform your innovative product into a solid and sound legal document. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to help my clients in this manner.
Before joining NLO I held several engineering positions and filled a number of managerial roles within a food multinational. This experience taught me the value of correctly interpreting and transposing information when two very different worlds, such as the technical and legal world, converge – as they do in IP. My approach to ensuring a seamless transition between these two worlds is to listen carefully to my clients, be concise and present creative solutions tailored to their situation. In this way, I am able to offer my clients the best possible protection for their invention.
