Practice Areas

Since his appointed as Queens Counsel in 2010, Piers has successfully made the transition from leading senior junior to successful IP silk. This was reflected in his nomination at the Chambers and Partners Bar Awards as “IP/IT Silk of the Year” during his first year as Silk.

Piers has a strong patent practice covering a wide variety of technology areas. His background in biochemistry means he is often in demand for pharmaceutical patent matters and since taking silk he has led some of the leading cases in this area.

Piers has been involved in numerous cases before all of the appropriate English courts and tribunals as well as the European Patent Office.

Piers was once again nominated as ‘IP/IT Silk of the Year’ at the 2015 Chambers and Partners Bar Awards.
