Mathys & Squire has announced a new round of senior promotions in its London office, appointing Harry Rowe and Dylan Morgan as partners, and Helen Springbett and Tom Bosworth as managing associates. The promotions highlight the firm’s continued investment in its trade mark, design, and patent teams.

Harry Rowe (pictured), now partner, brings over ten years of experience advising multinational corporations and SMEs on trade mark law. He is known for his work across sectors including financial services and life sciences. ‘It’s a privilege to be recognised in this way and to continue supporting our clients at a strategic level,’ he said.

Dylan Morgan, also promoted to partner, specialises in UK and European patents and global IP strategy. A former engineer at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, he holds a master’s in aerospace engineering from Cambridge. ‘I’m excited to help shape the future of the firm and contribute to its growth,’ he said.

Helen Springbett and Tom Bosworth step into managing associate roles. Helen, a Cambridge PhD in materials science, focuses on patents in physics and nanotechnology. Tom, with a PhD in cardiovascular sciences, specialises in biotech and genomics.

Senior equity partner Martin MacLean praised all four as ‘incredibly talented attorneys’ whose work is ‘an immense asset to our firm’.
