Partner


I am head of Fox Williams' intellectual property team and lead a team of specialists offering a one stop shop service on trade mark, design, patent, copyright and database right protection in the creative industries.


Simon gets results: this includes achieving a custodial prison sentence for an IP infringer; defeating a multinational brand on behalf of a SME in a trade mark infringement claim; successfully retrieving domain names for 100 famous authors in the first class action of its kind; persuading a court to allow service of a court claim via Instagram – another first; acting for Apprentice winners to protect their IP rights; protection of the IP owned by A list individuals; winning six and seven figure damages claims for and against high street fashion retailers for IP infringements; regularly co-ordinating cross border IP infringements on a worldwide basis.

Simon is one of a small group of Gold ranked litigators by World Trade Mark Review.

Simon skills are not confined to the IP disputes arena: he also advises on IP strategy and finds innovative commercial solutions to intractable problems, particularly in the tech and fintech sectors.
