Practice Areas

After reading Natural Sciences and Law at Trinity College Cambridge, Mark joined chambers in 1991. He was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 2009. For many years his practice has encompassed the full range of disputes relating to intellectual property rights, information technology and media law. He regularly appears in all the Courts in England and Wales and Europe relating to IP claims, including the Supreme Court/House of Lords, (in both patent and copyright proceedings) and the Court of Justice (in respect of trade mark rights), as well as in the Commercial Court, the TCC and ICC arbitrations.

The width of his practice is also reflected in the subject matter of the disputes. In the last two years alone Mark has acted in cases involving technology from a myriad of fields including oil and gas, formula one, quantitative trading (hedge funds), pharmaceuticals, mobile telecommunications, medical devices, satellite broadcasting and airline seating units. As a result of that experience Mark is frequently instructed in highly technical commercial disputes, particularly those involving confidential information, computer software and media rights. In addition he is regularly asked to act as a mediator, a role which he particularly enjoys, by being able to assist parties to achieve a positive outcome which is not necessarily available through the conventional litigation route.

Mark’s stellar reputation was echoed in his nomination for ‘IP/IT Silk of the Year’ at the 2016 Chambers & Partners Bar Awards.
