Paul Inman

Paul Inman works with companies ranging from small start-ups to major multi-national corporations. He specialises in the life sciences sector, which has included acting on high-profile pharmaceutical patent infringement and revocation actions in the UK Patents Court. As a global industry, life science businesses expect commercial advice from lawyers with an international outlook. Paul's specialist experience and skill set make him perfectly placed to provide this expertise and client care.

His role has extended to litigating across industries as diverse as fashion, oil drilling and consumer products both here, and overseas. Whether "success" is measured by getting the right court order at the end of the dispute, or evaluating and reaching the right commercial settlement between the parties beforehand, a thorough and balanced assessment on each case is critical. The ultimate aim for Paul is to provide his clients with well-rounded advice and guidance to ensure the best possible outcome.

His interest and expertise in the life sciences sector has also seen him advising on regulatory work concerning European pharmaceutical bodies. Paul's role gives him the unique opportunity to act for a wide range of patent and design proprietors, which he relishes.

Paul's first degree is in molecular biology and biochemistry, which means he can take on highly complex pharmaceutical or biotechnology inventions, as easily as less technical (but equally important) mechanical patents and designs.
