K&L Gates recruits IP expert
A global firm has appointed an intellectual property consultant as a partner in its Sydney office.
Naomi Pearce most recently ran her own consultancy, Pearce IP Strategy, with a specialisation in global patent strategies and pharmaceuticals.
Her recent work includes the development and execution of strategies supporting “the launch of the world’s first biosimilar monoclonal antibody product; two of the EU’s first biosimilar products; and Australia’s first biosimilar product”, according to the statement.
Earlier this week, K&L Gates announced the appointment of corporate partner Jeremy Prentice, formerly of Holding Redlich.
In September, special counsel Leonard McCarthy came to K&L Gates’ restructuring and insolvency team from Henry Davis York.
