Barbara is a bit of a technical whiz around the office. Having studied a host of languages – German, Japanese, Spanish and Latin (not to mention various computer systems and languages) – she is the go-to expert when it comes to IP investigation.

Barbara’s edge is her ability to scope out the big picture. She’ll take a look at what your competitors are up to by researching their filings, and reporting on their potential future market direction.

Alongside her rather impressive linguistic expertise, Barbara is also a qualified music teacher. When she’s not being creative casting or sculpting, she’s learning the ways of country life and is soon to be a dab-hand with wood work and chainsaws.
