Tamsin Holman, Partner and Solicitor in the trade mark team said of the move “Oscar is a great appointment for the firm, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and understanding that will be vital to the continued growth of our contentious trade mark practice”.

Oscar has considerable experience in advising clients in the technology, media, leisure, retail and fashion sectors. His practice covers both contentious and non-contentious aspects of all types of soft IP and he provides strategic advice to clients in relation to the protection and enforcement of their IP rights, with a focus on brand protection, anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting and trade mark, copyright and design right disputes. He also advises on domain name disputes, company name complaints, ASA complaints and fraudulent websites. He is an experienced litigator and regularly advises on transactional IP work, bringing with him extensive experience of coexistence arrangements, non-disclosure agreements, IP licensing (including global licensing deals and brand extensions) and regulatory aspects of IP.

Oscar joins D Young & Co around four months after the firm bolstered the trade mark practice by hiring Charlotte Duly as a Partner from Charles Russell Speechly.
