Nellie Jackson—Birketts

nellie_jackson

Firm boosts IP specialist team

Nellie Jackson has joined the corporate and commercial team at Birketts as a senior associate, having spent the past ten years specialising in intellectual property at Bristows LLP.

Nellie advises clients in connection with various intellectual property rights, including copyright, trade marks, and design rights. Though her experience covers the full range of intellectual property issues (both contentious and non-contentious), Nellie’s work focuses on brand protection and exploitation, advertising regulation and trade mark and copyright infringement. She will be based at the firm’s Ipswich office but supports colleagues across Birketts’ four offices: Cambridge, Chelmsford, Ipswich and Norwich.

Nellie says: “I’m thrilled to be joining a firm with a reputation for excellence that represents a large number of national and international businesses. Birketts has been involved in some high profile deals, with a number featuring international elements, including advising Palletforce PLC on its £30m sale to EmergeVest and the sale of family owned Alstons (Upholstery) Ltd to Thai-based Thailand Carpet Manufacturing plc.”
