Firm appoints new IP partner
Harbottle & Lewis has announced the appointment of new partner Kostyantyn Lobov (Intellectual Property, Advertising and Regulatory).

The firm has also promoted six associates to the position of senior associate. These are Kat Hardy-King (Corporate), Tom Macleod (Corporate), Guy Mawson (Family), Sam Purkiss (Sport), Sarah Verrecchia (Employment) and Lizzie Williams (Commercial Litigation).

Kostyantyn Lobov advises on all aspects of intellectual property, advertising and related regulatory issues. Being a litigator by background, his practice includes everything from pre-action advice and clearance enquiries, through to complex litigation in the High Court and beyond. While his practice spans multiple sectors, he has gained extensive recognition for his work with the games industry, which is a particular area of focus.

Harbottle & Lewis managing partner, Glen Atchison, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Kostyantyn Lobov to the partnership and to make up six senior associates.

‘Given the unprecedented and challenging times that we are facing right now, we could have decided to defer promotions, but chose to make them now, given the excellence and talent of these lawyers, all of whom have made a strong contribution to the continuing success of the firm. Congratulations to them all.’
