Partner, Trade Mark Attorney London
Profile of Charlotte Duly

I entered the fascinating world of intellectual property in 2005 with a focus on trade marks and designs. I enjoy watching the evolution of my clients’ goods and services as their businesses grow and technology develops.

I advise on the creation, protection, exploitation and enforcement of intellectual property rights, both in the UK and internationally. I act for a diverse range of clients of all sizes in sectors such as software and finance to fashion, retail and entertainment. I have a particular interest in domain name disputes and overcoming the challenges GDPR has presented to dealing with problem websites.

I joined D Young & Co in 2025 as a partner, and prior to this worked in both an IP boutique and a full service law firm.

I am an active member of INTA, MARQUES and CITMA, being involved with committees for all three organisations and the co-chair of the MARQUES education team.
