Dr Paul England

Dr Paul England is senior counsel – knowledge, in our Patents Group. He is an English qualified lawyer of over 20 years who specialises in advising on case theory and European strategic work for contentious patent matters, including in the Unified Patent Court, usually at the beginning of a dispute or potential dispute.

Paul also has a role in providing thought leadership, teaching and advice to clients and the our Patents Group, particularly on complex or unusual issues.

He publishes and speaks on patent law widely and his knowledge of European patent litigation is reflected in his leadership of the books A Practitioner's Guide to the UPC and Unitary Patent and A Practitioner's Guide to European Patent Law (both published by Bloomsbury).
