Keystone Law has announced the arrival of two senior IP
litigation lawyers, Alexander Carter-Silk and Claire Blewett, who both join the
firm from US firm Brown Rudnick LLP.
Alexander served as Brown Rudnick’s former head of European IP from
its London office, and has also previously led the IP and technology practices at
firms Speechly Bircham and Manches LLP. With more than 30 years of experience
in the field, Alexander has handled numerous high-profile disputes involving technology,
digital, IP and competition law.
Claire, who joins Keystone after five years with Brown Rudnick,
offers broad experience across both contentious and non-contentious IP matters.
She provides particular expertise in licensing, franchising and conflict-of-law
issues across industries including technology, life sciences, fashion, and
insurance.
James Knight, founder and CEO of Keystone Law, commented: ‘Both
Alexander and Claire are skilled IP litigators and commercial lawyers with
highly specialist digital expertise. Their profound understanding of the
technicalities involved in these, often complex, cases will be a tremendous
strength to the team.’
Alexander added: ‘As the digital world evolves and businesses
adopt new and disruptive technologies, it is an interesting time to be involved
in intellectual property litigation. Claire and I look forward to working
closely with Keystone’s well-established team and playing a solid role in the
development of the firm’s IP and broader dispute resolution practices.’
Claire also stated: ‘Keystone is highly regarded for its IP
capabilities and perfectly positioned to handle all manner of commercial
issues. I am excited to be joining this forward-thinking team and working in a
hugely entrepreneurial and collaborative culture.’
