Carpmaels & Ransford has recently announced the promotion of Ben Husband and Simon Llewellyn to the partnership.
Ben (pictured, left) joined Carpmaels & Ransford in 2013 having started his career at another UK IP firm. Being a key part of the growth of both the Engineering and Tech teams, he has built a considerable practice in the MedTech field, in particular with software-related medical devices. Ben’s electronics and software background enables him to work across a variety of other sectors. Ben regularly handles oppositions and appeals before the European Patent Office, both as an opponent and defendant.
Simon (pictured, right) is a solicitor in the Dispute Resolution team and joined the firm in 2018, having started his career at another London-based firm specialising in patent litigation. Simon’s practice is focused on multi-jurisdictional patent litigation across all industry sectors, but particularly on the various aspects of the healthcare industry, including on small molecule, antibody, and non-biological complex drugs, and on medical devices. Simon has been involved in high-profile cases before the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and High Court concerning both patents and SPCs. Much of his work involves cross-border litigation and he has extensive experience assisting as co-counsel in litigation taking place across Europe as well as the US and Asia.
Hugh Goodfellow, Managing Partner at Carpmaels & Ransford, commented: 'Ben and Simon have built very impressive practices since joining the firm and we are really pleased to welcome them into the partnership.'
