Simon is a highly qualified and registered Patent and Trade Mark Attorney in both Australia and New Zealand with a strong technical foundation in engineering and over twenty years experience in intellectual property law. With a Bachelor of Engineering (Joint Honours) in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde and a Master of Intellectual Property Law from the University of Melbourne, Simon brings a unique blend of technical insight and legal proficiency to the practice.

Throughout his career, Simon has worked with a diverse range of clients- from startups to established companies-helping them protect their innovations and navigate complex IP landscapes.
