Joycia Young

Joycia primarily advises clients on the commercial aspects of IP, from brand development and protection, through to unlocking the value in IP assets through licensing or other forms of commercial exploitation or sale. Joycia's licensing and commercialisation experience spans the full spectrum of IP rights, including trade marks, copyright and know-how, and patents and technology.

She has extensive experience advising a range of clients in the core developing sectors in the Middle East, being retail, entertainment, education and healthcare. As the region's economies shift their focus and dependence from hydrocarbon industries and property development with a view to creating true knowledge based economies, Joycia has supported her clients in advising on technology transfer and the commercialisation of hard IP rights such as patents and know how.

Joycia is well respected as an astute commercial lawyer, and regularly advises clients on a wide range of commercial agreements in relation to marketing, content creation and commissioning, events, e commerce and distribution and supply.

Joycia was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia in 1998 and the High Court of Australia in 1999. She also qualified as a Solicitor, England and Wales in 2009.
