Within this role he managed the worldwide trade mark portfolio of a global FMCG company.

Daniel March commented: ’I joined Forresters in December and have spent the past few months settling in and getting to know the business. My role involves advising on all aspects of trade mark and design registration, protection and enforcement in the UK, as well as in Europe and internationally. This includes clearance searches, oppositions, invalidity and revocation actions as well as other transactions involving intellectual property.’

Dr Rosalie Shepherd joined the company as a trainee patent attorney. After graduating from the University of Oxford in 2014 with a degree in Chemistry, she went on to study for a PhD in Atmospheric Physical Chemistry at the University of London, as well as going on to spend two years at Rutherford Appleton Laboratories.

She commented: ’I’m very excited to be joining Forresters and look forward to finding out what the future holds for me here. This is a highly specialised area of law, but one which is essential for businesses looking to protect valuable innovations.’

Alexandra Wood also recently joined the company as a trainee patent attorney. After graduating from Durham University in 2016 with a BSc in Cell Biology, she spent her final year focusing on the different vaccine approaches to the Dengue virus.

She said: 'I am delighted to have secured this role at Forresters and to have joined such a friendly team. I felt it was important to find an employer which invests in, and nurtures future talent. When I heard about the training programme on offer as part of the role here at Forresters, which has a solid track record, I immediately applied for the job and the rest is history.'
