Magdalena Borucka

Magdalena is a dual qualified senior associate (admitted in England & Wales and Poland) advising on contentious and non-contentious matters across the full range of IP rights. She is one of the go-to lawyers in the group for trade mark matters, including overall trade mark protection strategy, third-party conflicts, IP infringement issues as well as the IP-related commercial and regulatory advice.

She is the lead associate acting for some of the world's largest brands, particularly within the entertainment, media, luxury, fashion and FMCG industries. Her experience includes the day-to-day management of complex international portfolios, often consisting of well-known trade marks, drafting licence agreements, talent contracts and distribution agreements, as well as advising on trade mark, design and copyright infringement, particularly in relation to fashion.

Magdalena has considerable experience in protecting non-standard trade marks and in leading and advising on complex opposition and cancellation proceedings based on bad faith. She is also a member of the MARQUES Regulatory Team.
