October 2024 We are very pleased to congratulate Sean Hughes and Carolyn Haywood for both being recognised as Rising Stars in the 2024 Managing IP rankings.
Both Sean and Carolyn were also recognised as Rising Stars in the 2023 Managing IP rankings and well deserve their continued success.
Sean qualified in 2019 and continues to provide excellent IP assistance to a range of clients, particularly those in the immunotherapy space. Sean is well-versed in all aspects of the life-cycle of a patent portfolio, including International patent prosecution, freedom-to-operate searches and licensing issues. By working closely with his clients, Sean is able to appreciate the “full picture” and therefore tailor his IP advice to the client’s commercial goals.
Carolyn qualified as a European patent attorney in 2021 and has an exceptional level of experience in multi-party EPO opposition proceedings. Through this wealth of experience, Carolyn is well-placed in being able to advise on strategic matters of complex opposition and appeal proceedings.
Alongside our Rising Stars, our founder George Schlich has also been recognised as a 2024 Patent Star.
