Career

Charlotte’s practice includes the full-range of soft intellectual property, including trade marks, passing off, copyright, design right and related commercial matters. She regularly appears in the IPEC, High Court, Court of Appeal, General Court and the Trade Marks Registry, both as a junior and in her own right.

Charlotte specialises in trade marks. She has registered the most appearances as Counsel at the UKIPO in 2022 and in the five years 2016 to 2020 (according to the CITMA Review), and registered the second most appearances in 2021 despite being on maternity leave. She regularly conducts appeals before the Appointed Person and the High Court, as well as matters before the EUIPO and the General Court. Charlotte also teaches on various professional trade mark courses at Nottingham Law School.

Prior to coming to the Bar, Charlotte read Law at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. She also helped found Instant Impact Ltd, an in-house recruitment provider. Instant Impact is now a leading company in its field and Charlotte continues to be involved in its legal and commercial affairs. This experience provides Charlotte with a valuable insight when advising commercial clients.
