Legal Career
Triggs Wilkinson & Mann Solicitors - Guildford
Capital Law LLP – Cardiff & London
I joined Capital Law’s commercial litigation team on qualification in September 2006, having completed my training contract with a leading firm in Guildford.
I now work on a wide range of commercial disputes with specific emphasis on intellectual property disputes, contentious partnership matters and cases involving employees’ and directors’ duties.
Whilst aggressive action is necessary in certain situations (which may include seeking emergency injunctive relief through the Courts), I also encourage clients to consider alternative means of resolving disputes (including Mediation) when appropriate and cost effective to do so.
Examples of my work:
Partnership Disputes
Acting in a complex partnership dispute involving family run care-home and tourism businesses.
Representing a former partner in a complex and high value partnership dispute involving one of Wales’ largest GP practices (current).

• Representing a toy design company in a Patent Infringement action against one of the UK’s market leaders.
• Acting for a south Wales based disability aid design and manufacturing company in relation to a design right infringement dispute against a potential competitor.
• Advising the UK’s leading price comparison websites on their Intellectual Property rights generally and successfully preventing numerous third parties from infringing its intellectual property rights quickly and cost effectively.
• Acting for one of Europe’s largest fishing equipment retailers in relation to a defended Patent and Copyright infringement action (current).

• Handling a number of complex and high value employment related disputes involving data theft, breach of employees’ duties, and espionage.
• Acting for one of the UK’s leading second tier lenders against one of its former employees, obtaining an emergency injunction restraining the former employee from utilising confidential and valuable information to establish a competing business.
