George is a European and UK Patent Attorney based in the firm’s London office. George’s work covers a broad range of technologies across chemistry, and his client base spans small start-up companies and university technology transfer offices all the way through to multinational chemical corporations. He has significant experience prosecuting patents relating to industrial chemistry (including refrigerants, propellants, polymers and solvents), agrochemicals, and materials. He particularly enjoys working with clients focused on sustainable technologies such as carbon capture and storage, green concrete and photovoltaics.
