Cooley—Charlie Winckworth

Cooley LLP has bolstered its London office with the arrival of Charlie Winckworth, who joins as a partner in the intellectual property team.

Charlie spent more than 14 years with Hogan Lovells, the last five of which he held the position of partner and co-headed the firm’s trademark team. He is highly experienced in advising multinational clients on a wide range of IP matters, with particular expertise in the online sphere, including domain name acquisitions and recoveries.

Managing partner of Cooley's London office Justin Stock said: ‘Charlie has a well-established reputation in our market. His deep IP experience bridges several key practice areas, strengthening our full-service offerings for clients here in London and around the world. We are eager to work closely alongside him.’

Charlie added: ‘Cooley’s platform is a natural extension of my practice. I’ve had the fortune of working closely with some of the firm’s partners, and I know my work, particularly with e-commerce, tech and life sciences companies, will prove a fruitful match. Most of all, I’m happy to be joining the renowned team here—the commitment and camaraderie is powerful.’
