Life sciences players have instant access to a wealth of resources with Erica Lowthers, Kitt Sinden, Kimberly McManus and Lola Bartoszewicz on board. An avid drafter, Lowthers holds a PhD in pharmacology and always secures protection in the most time and cost-effective way. Fellow pharmacologist Sinden familiarises himself with clients’ businesses to give him an edge when taking applications through to grant. McManus understands the value of intellectual assets and works hard to ensure patrons have strong portfolios and even stronger market positions; while due diligence and freedom to operate opinions are Bartoszewicz’s speciality. The pair have PhDs in chemistry and biochemistry respectively.

On the contentious side, seasoned advocate Timothy Lowman has four decades of contentious experience and possesses finely honed licensing skills too. A go-to for all things technological, “Trent Horne is second to none”; he frequently writes for the Supreme Court Law Review.
