Alison is a Registered UK Trade Mark Attorney, having qualified in 1998. She represents a variety of clients in sectors as diverse as retail, ingredients and bankingy and advises on the full spectrum of trade mark matters, including availability and infringement, applications and opposition proceedings. She has experience of managing, and enforcing via opposition proceedings, a portfolio of trade marks in over 100 countries.

In 2007, Alison completed an LLM in IP litigation at Nottingham Law School which has added to her experience in contentious matters.
