Kasongo Swana
IA Executive

Kasongo joined Stobbs as an IA Trainee, and is now an IA Executive at Stobbs. Kasongo is learning to specialise in trade marks across a wide range of industries including insurance, food and beverage, and fashion. Kasongo first discovered trade marks when studying an IP module as part of her LLB at Queen Mary University of London, and continued on to study the Bar Professional Training Course at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Prior to joining Stobbs, she developed litigation experience as a County Court Advocate, representing clients in various civil and commercial matters in judges’ chambers. This ranged from bankruptcy petitions to small claims hearings brought for breach of contract disputes.

Kasongo likes to wind down from work by practising yoga and drinking gin cocktails – she has yet to master both at the same time. She also enjoys cooking (and eating) new recipes, baking (and eating) brownies, painting, listening to music, and working out to make up for all the eating.
