Jenny Guild—Ashfords LLP

New trade mark attorney for IP team

Ashfords LLP has strengthened their intellectual property (IP) offering following the recent qualification of Jenny Guild as a trade mark attorney. Jenny has recently passed her registered trade mark attorney exams. 

Jenny joined Ashfords in 2011 as a paralegal. Having initially planned on becoming a solicitor, Jenny found her niche in brands and trade marks and decided to follow a non-traditional route into this specialist area of law, joining Carl Steele as a registered trade mark attorney in Ashfords' IP Team. Carl, Ashfords' partner and head of trade marks, is Exeter's only dual-qualified solicitor and registered trade mark attorney.

Chairman and head of Ashfords’ IP Team, Mark Lomas comments: “Ashfords is extremely proud of Jenny and to have supported her career and professional development.  She has always shown outstanding knowledge and ability combined with a brilliant client service attitude. It takes a lot to pass these exams and she is to be congratulated for sailing though them. Clients are increasingly aware of the need to protect their intellectual property and they can be sure that our IP team will protect them.
