Intellectual Property litigation boutique Powell Gilbert LLP has announced that it has added a new partner to the team.

Tim Whitfield joined the partnership of PG this month April, taking the firm to 8 Partners, 15 Associates and 12 paralegals / technical assistant. With an MA in Chemistry from the University of Oxford, Tim trained at Bristows and qualified as a solicitor in 2004.
