Testimonial:

“Leah has all the right skills for a great trade mark attorney: she is enquiring, focused, and has the natural ability to understand the commercial nature of trade mark law and to apply it practically rather than theoretically. She became an integral and invaluable member of the team within her first week, and since then has amassed a good deal of experience on a wide range of trade mark matters.”
