Having been a technical judge for many years, specialized in chemistry and life sciences, it is fascinating and inspiring for me to now use my professional insights on behalf of a patent law firm. Moving from behind the bench to working directly with clients and collaborating with top legal minds is a rewarding challenge, especially as the UPC shapes new case law.
