Position

Yasmin provides advice on intellectual property disputes and works with clients across a number of industry sectors including retail, technology, media, food and leisure.

She has experience in dealing with disputes relating to trade marks, patents, copyright and designs as well as the related areas of passing off, defamation and misuse of confidential information.
