I joined the Commercial and Technology team at Bates Wells in February 2023 after qualifying and practising in New Zealand.
In our Commercial and Technology team, we work with a wide range of clients (including B Corps, charities and purpose driven businesses) on a variety of matters specialising in technology, commercial contracts and intellectual property matters. I enjoy understanding our clients’ goals, values and purpose to ensure we equip clients with meaningful and pragmatic advice.
I am passionate about technology and innovation. Our team have particular expertise in EdTech, MedTech, and the Life Sciences.
Across industries, our team supports organisations to embed their values and purpose into their supply chain through bespoke contractual provisions and broader procurement advice.
- Advised a number of charities and businesses on licensing arrangements to support the commercialisation of their intellectual property, supporting them to expand their impact and operations.
- Advised a developer and supplier of generic and customised drug delivery and medical device platforms on licensing arrangements.
- Assisted a UK based medical research charity on supply chain related matters with a particular focus on technology procurement.
- Advised prominent UK award organisations on the procurement of a range of outsourced technology and on their operational terms within the vocational education sector.
- In my previous role in New Zealand, I supported the development of ‘Climate clauses for Aotearoa New Zealand’, legal mechanisms to support climate-based obligations in contracts that can be applied across multiple sectors and practices.
