With extensive experience of all major IP practice areas, Henry brings a commercial and no-nonsense approach to litigation.

His background is in engineering, and particularly civil, mechanical, petroleum and offshore engineering, but he deals with a wide range of technical subject matter. Henry’s practice has covered almost all areas of both “hard” and “soft” IP cases – from biotech and electronic patents cases to reality TV disputes.
