Experience

After studying Law at university, Sam began his career as an intern at ITV Studios, working in their brand protection team. Sam spent a year gaining an understanding of the needs and priorities of an in-house legal team whilst simultaneously studying to become a CITMA Qualified Trade Mark Paralegal.

Sam then made the transition to working in private practice, where he was able to continue to develop his technical skills in IP whilst also making use of his in-house background to ensure the very best in client care.

As a Trainee Trade Mark Attorney, Sam is looking forward to applying his experience at HGF, one of Europe's leading IP firms. Sam is committed to delivering clear, practical advice and is eager to continue building his expertise as he progresses through qualification.
