Firm strengthens its Nottingham commercial practice with new hire

Browne Jacobson has expanded its commercial practice with the appointment of new partner Selina Hinchliffe into its Nottingham office.

Selina was previously a principal associate at Eversheds LLP where she spent over four years leading on IP and IT matters.   

She is a non-contentious IP transactional lawyer with particular experience of working with clients in the utilities, energy and tech sectors. In addition she has experience of running and managing major strategic technology and IT outsourcing projects as well as private sector IT and commercial arrangements. Selina advises on complex transactional IP matters, drafts and negotiates a range of agreements relating to the exploitation of IP (including technology transfer, licensing, R&D, manufaez & Charles Worthington), amongst others.

She also joins the firm’s technology team who advise private and public sector clients, including some of the world’s leading brands, on large scale, business critical IT projects, international patent litigation cases and complex, multi-jurisdictional data protection and privacy issues.

Declan Cushley, partner and head of the commercial and technology group and intellectual property team said: “Selina’s appointment is fantastic news for the commercial group and will really help us to further bolster the breadth and depth of our already excellent skill set.”

Paula Dumbill, partner in the firm’s commercial group, commented: “Selina is a first class lawyer and will be a great fit with our existing and prospective clients, locally, nationally and internationally.”

Selina Hinchliffe added: “I am delighted to be joining a firm with an excellent reputation as leading legal experts and a team that is going from strength to strength.”
