Thriving pharmaceuticals, life sciences and chemistry boutique Alembia continues to go from strength to strength and earns effusive praise for being “very easy to work with, flexible, alert and ambitious. The team has vast experience in industry and as in-house counsel, which means it has seen almost any issue that can arise and is able to assist accordingly. They understand their clients’ goals and what investors and potential buyers look for in a company’s IP portfolio, and advise on how best to tailor it to ensure commercial success. The team is also appreciated for its clear communication, ability to translate complex legal concepts into simple language, and for always delivering on time.” Lucy Padget and Nonny Jones are the leading lights and also come highly recommended. “As former in-house counsel, Lucy brings a unique perspective and expert insight, and is able to provide not just the correct legal advice, but the best position to take upon evaluation of all of the factors. She speaks the language of both the scientist and the judge, as well as bringing a commercially pragmatic viewpoint. Lucy is a high-level strategic and practical thinker who can see the forest from the trees, and she draws on her scientific background to quickly understand the technical concepts at hand. She is completely client oriented and makes life much easier for in-house counsel." “Nonny is knowledgeable, diligent and exceptionally well organised. He demonstrates an excellent understanding of the patenting process and explains each step in a clear and concise manner. His strong scientific background is very helpful when it comes to understanding the nature of the innovation at hand and drafting patent applications to secure its protection. When faced with objections from the patent examiner, Nonny is brilliant at overcoming hurdles and crafting persuasive arguments to steer a patent through to grant. Additionally, he is very personable and amiable, which makes working with him an absolute pleasure.”
