Verity Ellis

I advise clients across a wide range of contentious intellectual property matters, providing commercial advice to new and established brands in pre and post litigation scenarios. With a focus on brand protection strategy and enforcement, I specialise in trade mark and copyright disputes, together with frequently handling defamation matters. I have also worked on technology disputes, particularly in relation to contractual breach and complex termination issues.

Listed in the Managing IP 'IP Stars Handbook' 2023 as "a Rising Star", I have experience of litigation in the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, High Court (both Chancery and King's Bench divisions) and Court of Appeal, together with registry actions. I represent a variety of UK and international clients including those in the entertainment, technology, FMCG and luxury goods industries.

I enjoy writing articles for external publications and contributing to the firm's 'SnIPpets' intellectual property blog. I also regularly speak at internal and external events, such as Fieldfisher's annual IP Crammer, the Music Publishers Association course and bespoke training for clients.

I re-joined Fieldfisher in 2019 having taken a year away from law to cycle from the UK to New Zealand. I initially joined the firm in 2017, having trained and worked at a leading international firm followed by a boutique IP practice in London.
