Serle Court

Intellectual Property, Art, Private International Law, IT, Commercial Litigation, Private Client and Property.

Stephanie specialises in Intellectual Property, Art and Media law. She also accepts instructions on broader commercial issues pertaining to the creative and technology sectors, such as contractual and tortious IT disputes or advice on IP transactions and licensing. A significant proportion of her practice involves an international element and she has experience in cases with disputed jurisdiction, foreign law, and service and enforcement out of the jurisdiction.

Her background in art, combined with her expertise in IP, commercial and private international law, means she is uniquely placed to advise clients across a broad range of contentious or non-contentious matters relating to art and cultural property.

Stephanie enjoys working as part of a team and is also experienced and confident acting as sole counsel. She is regularly instructed in the most significant Intellectual Property cases before the UK courts, often unled and against QCs. She has appeared before the CJEU (General Court), Court of Appeal, High Court and IPEC as well as in registry proceedings before the UK IPO and EUIPO.
