Senior intellectual property lawyer is appointed as partner

Bond Dickinson has appointed Intellectual property solicitor Patrick Cantrill as a partner.  

Patrick joins the firm from Walker Morris, where he built the firm's IP offering from scratch and went on to head their highly regarded intellectual property department. He has nearly 30 years of expertise gained from working both in UK and overseas practices and of managing IP portfolios for blue chip and international organisations. He has extensive experience in both contentious and non-contentious IP and media law matters with a strong reputation for handling major and cross-border IP litigation.  He has been involved successfully in a number of high profile patent, design and trade mark cases.  

Patrick is active in various IP organisations such as the Licensing Executives Society and the International Trademark Association. He has authored several articles on intellectual property and most recently was a contributor to The Innovation Handbook, which was recently published by the UK Intellectual Property Office

Nick Page, chairman of Bond Dickinson, comments: “We are extremely pleased to announce Patrick’s appointment as a partner in our IP Department. He is one of the most accomplished lawyers in his field and he will be a first rate addition to our intellectual property and media practice.  We look forward to working with him as we develop our presence in London and internationally.”
