The Nottingham-based firm, which specialises in patents and trademarks, has announced that Colin Baker will be its new managing partner.
Baker (below left), who focuses on the patenting of chemical inventions, has been a partner at the firm since 1999.
He has experience of proceedings before the European Patent Office Opposition Division and Boards of Appeal and has handled more than 100 cases.
Alongside Baker, Andrew Argyle has joined the firm as its new practice director.
