Kirby said: “We are delighted to be joining Carpmaels, a firm we have long admired and worked with over the past 20 years. The firm and its clients are absolutely first class in every way, and we aim to help maintain that reputation and build on it as Carpmaels evolves into a leading full service European IP firm.”
Richard Jackson, managing partner of the firm, said: “We are delighted to welcome Ian and Jonathan to Carpmaels as we broaden the gold standard offering we already provide to clients.”
