Ashfords LLP has bolstered its intellectual property team with the arrival of partner Clare Jackman, formerly the UK head of trade marks at Norton Rose Fulbright.
Chartered trade mark attorney Clare specialises in all aspects of UK, European and international brand protection, including trade mark filing and prosecution, brand disputes and trade mark portfolio management. She advises clients deriving from the financial, energy, transport, healthcare, retail and luxury goods sectors, among others.
Carl Steele, head of IP at Ashfords LLP, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Clare to the firm. She is a class operator and clients will love working with her. “It is a sign of her confidence in Ashfords that she has joined Ashfords’ burgeoning IP team from her role as Head of Trade Marks (UK) at Norton Rose Fulbright, a major international law firm. We continue to grow our trade marks practice year-on-year and our rankings show we are independently recognised now as being amongst the top TM firms in the UK. Clare joining us will only make us stronger—and an even better option for businesses with IP needs.’
Clare added: ‘I’m very excited to be joining Ashfords’ already successful and well-established trade marks practice. I bring with me 28 years’ experience of managing trade mark portfolios, both large and small, and of working with clients across many different sectors and fields. Ashfords’ practice provides me with the perfect, ready-made platform to pursue my specialism, provide commercial advice and deliver excellent client service.’
