Pinsent Masons

Firm overview:

Pinsent Masons continue to offer clients a sophisticated international patent litigation practice built around telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and advanced technologies. Their ability to coordinate disputes across multiple jurisdictions remains one of the team’s main strengths, while continued investment in technically experienced litigators has helped secure a steady flow of strategically significant instructions. The firm’s market position rests on a strong mix of legal expertise, scientific understanding and international reach.

Team overview:

The patent disputes team is particularly strong where technical complexity and cross-border coordination meet. James Marshall and Christopher Sharp are key figures in the practice, with experience across FRAND licensing, pharmaceuticals and multinational enforcement, but the wider international disputes team is central to the firm’s ability to manage litigation strategies across several jurisdictions. That combination of legal, technical and geographic coverage remains a major part of Pinsent Masons’ appeal to multinational clients.

Christopher Sharp brings a strong scientific background to technically demanding pharmaceutical and chemistry disputes across the UK and Europe. Market commentators note the volume and complexity of his work, while his collaborative approach to multinational litigation continues to support the firm’s standing in contentious patents.

James Marshall has quickly become a key figure in the firm’s patent disputes practice, particularly across telecommunications and FRAND litigation. His licensing and cross-border experience helps clients navigate technically sophisticated disputes while keeping long-term commercial objectives in view.
